HUSD Early Childhood Programs OUR VISION The Higley Unified School District prides itself on providing quality educational experiences. We feel that enriched early childhood environments not only provide extraordinary opportunities for young children, but also form the foundation for a successful educational career. We have designed our Brilliant Beginnings Program for three and four year olds and our Kindergarten Prep program for four and five year olds who will attend Kindergarten the following school year to provide a loving, safe, and nurturing child-centered educational experience. The goal of our Early Childhood Development Center programs is to bring teachers, parents and community together with a common vision to enhance the lives of children and their families. Connect Engage Inspire Master educators will guide your child in learning new skills, help your child develop a sense of belonging and foster a love of learning and celebration of life each and every day. The curriculum will provide a foundation for inquiry and will challenge each individual student. We are committed to providing meaningful and developmentally appropriate educational experiences for your child’s intellectual, social, emotional, creative and physical development. We limit our class sizes to maintain the Arizona student/teacher ratio. We feel that maintaining this ratio enables our early childhood certified teachers to provide students with more individualized and quality instruction on a daily basis. STAFF QUALIFICATIONS All Brilliant Beginnings and Kindergarten Prep teachers are highly qualified, early childhood certified teachers. Instructional aides are selected for their depth of educational training and the quality of prior experiences. Teachers and aides participate in continued formal training each year as well as ongoing professional development opportunities in the areas of classroom management, discipline and child psychology. In addition to our regular Brilliant Beginnings and Kindergarten Prep programs we also offer these new preschool programs. MANDARIN DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM Our Mandarin Dual Language class is located at our Cooley Early Childhood Development Center. The class meets 5 days a week from 7:45 to 2:45 and is for four to five-year-olds who will be going to kindergarten the next school year. Students in the Mandarin Dual Language program will receive instruction in both Mandarin and English during their school day. Foundational Mandarin language experience along with our Kindergarten Prep curriculum will provide meaningful, developmentally appropriate learning experiences for your child’s social, emotional, intellectual, creative and physical development to prepare them for the rigors of
