The Early Childhood Program begins an adventurous journey into the world of learning. It is through the student’s curiosity and imagination which lead them into its investigation, to explore the unknown, and to discover the beautiful and wonderful world of God’s creation which He has placed before their eyes. The Early Childhood Program offers its youngest students, a rich, hands-on learning environment in a warm, structured and engaging atmosphere where trust and love are not only seen, but felt, as well.
In Early Childhood playing is synonymous with learning. Developmental and readiness goals are established for each of the following broad areas: Religion, a strong based phonics with Language Arts, including oral language (speaking and listening), mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, computer technology and physical education. Each boy learns to use his unique talents for personal growth and to help to live cooperatively with others. Regis understands and recognizes each student learns at his own pace, and hence the reason for learning is called a journey rather a race.
The curriculum of Early Childhood is strong and challenging. It uses as its foundation the objectives set forth from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. The framework of Sacred Heart Schools: faith, academics, service, community building and the making of wise decisions is incorporated throughout the day and in all areas, both in and out of the classrooms.
To ensure each student’s success, Regis provides a strong communication link with the parents. Classroom work, and interim reports are sent home regularly. Conferences may be scheduled at any time throughout the year. As young as they might be, self-discipline is taught through modeling, positive reinforcement and redirection. Regis believes in children and strives to work to reach each student’s potential. There is an atmosphere of family and nurturing which is felt and an indelible acceptance of serenity and peace when one walks through the door.
