Our Early Childhood Program
Our preschool curriculum is guided by the South Carolina Early Learning Standards and thoughtfully designed to foster development of the whole child. Through engaging thematic units that connect literacy, mathematics, science, and creative expression, children build skills in an integrated, meaningful way. From our youngest infants through our pre-kindergarten students, every age group benefits from developmentally appropriate experiences that lay a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Literacy & Academic Foundations
Structured daily reading and storytelling help children build vocabulary, develop a love of books, and strengthen letter recognition. Our academic programming introduces early math concepts including counting, sorting, patterning, and number sense. Through hands-on science activities and guided observation, children begin developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills from the earliest ages — building confidence as capable young learners.
Creative Play & Discovery
Thematic units invite children to explore the world through art, music, and movement. Sensory activities, imaginative play, and collaborative projects encourage self-expression, creativity, and meaningful social development. Each week introduces new themes that spark curiosity and invite children to ask questions, make connections, and share ideas. Intentional play is at the heart of everything we do at The Sweetgrass School.
Kindergarten Readiness
Our pre-kindergarten program places a strong emphasis on social-emotional development, self-regulation, early writing, and positive classroom routines. Children learn independence, cooperation, and the confidence to navigate new challenges. By the time our pre-K graduates leave us, they are fully prepared to meet the academic and social expectations of kindergarten — equipped not only with foundational skills, but with a genuine love of learning that will carry them forward.
