Our Curriculum

Jacob's Well Learning Center

Jacob's Well uses an emergent method of teaching where our trained teachers design their curriculum based on the interest of the children. So instead of trying to figure out a "hook" to get your children interested in the lesson, the teacher starts with the children's interest based on observation, documentation, and creative brainstorming. Our curriculum is not just pulled from some book off the shelf, but we work really closely with your child's needs and interests to make sure not only that they are learning, but that they love to learn.

Through each facet of our teachings, we incorporate God's Truth and lessons from the Bible. Here at Jacob's Well, we want children to know God on a holistic spectrum in order to see God in all that we do.

Being an owner of different ethnicity, we also understand the importance of children to retain their own ethnic language. It is exciting to be a pioneer in childcare where we will work with families to teach their children their ethnic language if you deem this is important to you.

Private Kindergarten (5 yrs to 6 yrs)

We have a full day private Kindergarten class taught by a licensed teacher with a Masters degree in education. Here, children will focus more on a more formal education with more individual attention due to a smaller class size. The class will cover all the necessary subjects to help them succeed in formal Kindergarten assessments. We follow the Common Core State Standards (this is what Mason Public Schools use) and also teach the children values from the Bible.

We also have a Kindergarten Enrichment class to supplement Mason's half-day Kindergarten programs. Here we can help specifically certain areas of your child that might need a little more attention.
