Illinois Early Learning & Development Standards
Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool chooses to align with Illinois State Standards for Early Childhood Education. We believe this framework helps us to provide the best well rounded education experience for your child, helping to prepare them for either public or private kindergarten.
STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
Jolly Phonics is a comprehensive program, based on the proven, fun and multi-sensory synthetic phonics method that gets children reading and writing from an early age. The 42 letter sounds are phonic building blocks that children, with the right tools, use to decode the English language.
