What We Teach
Frog Street integrates all six developmental domains into every single school day — not in isolation, but woven together so learning feels natural and joyful.
Phonological awareness, vocabulary, read-alouds, writing, and emergent reading skills built daily through songs, stories, and structured practice.
Number sense, counting, patterns, shapes, sorting, and early addition through hands-on manipulatives, games, and math journaling.
Emotional vocabulary, self-regulation, conflict resolution, and friendship skills using Conscious Discipline integrated into every interaction.
Observation, questioning, predicting, and experimenting children learn the scientific method through inquiry-based exploration from day one.
Songs, fingerplays, rhythm, dance, and movement activities that wire phonological awareness and gross motor development simultaneously.
Painting, drawing, crafting, dramatic play, and storytelling that build fine motor skills, self-expression, and a lifelong love of learning.
