The Curriculum
At Panache Enfants, we incorporate the highly reputed, Common Core aligned, Core Knowledge ELA programs in our uniquely developed PanacheGurus curriculum. Our PanacheGurus program ensures that our students seamlessly transition from TK/Pre-K into K-12.
Core Knowledge and PanacheGurus maintain the belief that children must be exposed to content areas along a systematic path that accounts for layering of knowledge chronologically through time. It is imperative to understand the concept of individual people before learning about communities of people and later countries and the world. At Panache Enfants we couple this content-layering approach with developmentally appropriate skill learning to provide a well-rounded early literacy program.
We utilize a system of assessments that incorporate the California DRDPs along with Core Knowledge assessments to ensure out students are meeting the important academic and developmental milestones expected for each stage. These assessments are key in developing lesson plans weekly and monthly that will most effectively address the learning goals of each student.
