Our Programs
Curriculum
The Curriculum used at Caiden’s Christian Academy (CCA) covers the Mississippi
Department of Education Common Core Guidelines and Standards as well as the
A Beka curriculum (specifically when it pertains to the Bible, Phonemic
Awareness, Reading Fundamentals, Language and Math). A Beka is a
comprehensive, quality curriculum written from a Christian perspective. Preschool
children need a strong foundation in both academics and character and the A Beka
Book program provides proven advanced reading and comprehension results.
These lessons and standards will help children meet their developmental needs in
the areas of:
- Biblical Knowledge and Understanding
- Communication and Early Language Skills
- Physical Motor Skill Development
- Conceptual and Cognitive Development
- Socialization Skills
- Fostering Emotional Skills
Nurturing Growing Minds
We want to assure each parent that their child will be placed in a room that is best
suited for them individually, one that encompasses their emotional, physical, and
social needs. At each stage, we try to maintain classrooms that provide the specific
nurturing and encouragement that children thrive in.

Infants
We designed the infant childcare rooms at CCA to make the transition for both
parent and child as smoothly as possible! We’ve created a safe, “feels like home”
environment that enables us to love and nurture your infant as we seek to meet
their individual needs.
Pre Wee Babies
6 WEEKS — 12 MONTHS
Our Infant room is best suited for babies who are in the age range of 6 weeks – 12
months. To provide the appropriate care for your child, napping and feeding
schedules are initially on demand (as needed). Every room has social space where
babies can see their friends and are engaged by the teachers through songs and
play. 6-12 months is a fun and busy stage for babies as they begin to demonstrate
their mobility. Our room is designed to accommodate not only their increased
movement but also their increased interest in everything around them. We also
introduce basic sign language to enable the babies to communicate with their
teachers and parents!
Wee Babies
13 MONTHS — 24 MONTHS
Our WEE babies room is best suited for babies between 13 months – 24 months.
Developmental milestones are met differently with each child and we want to
make sure that those babies who are expressing an interest in walking get the
opportunity to practice! Wee Babies are also designed to introduce your child to a
more structured napping and play schedule. Sign language is continued to be used
and taught and we even begin exposing the children to the wonderful world of the
alphabet and numbers! The areas of learning include Cognitive Skills, Fine Motor,
Gross Motor, Emotional Skills and Social Development.
Toddler Wobblers
3 — 4 Year Olds
Our Toddler Wobbler childcare room is best suited for children who are in the age
range of 3-4 years old. Emphasis is biblical in all classes, however emphasis is also
desired socially and emotionally through the development with the recognition of
colors, shapes, sizes and beginning letter and number recognition. These activities
are adjusted to each child’s abilities and interests. Music and rhythm activities,
group games and creative artwork help achieve these goals. Language development
is taught through reading, finger play, rhyming and word games. We begin using
the A Beka curriculum with our Wobblers and we provide daily instruction in
letters, numbers, and language development. While we still use sign language in
this class, we really encourage the children to begin communicating through the
use of words and that comes naturally through the constant teacher interaction.
At CCA, our goal is always to make learning fun!
5 Year Olds
This classroom provides daily Bible and catechism instruction which is taught by a
qualified Instructor and/or the Director. The instructional times during class remain
centered on the A Beka curriculum and we teach and encourage a mastery of
reading one and two vowel words. Our small reading groups take the children
through little readers which get sent home upon completion. The children in this
room are also introduced to basic math concepts, as well as writing numbers and
counting to 100. Fundamental skills include name writing, number skills and
consistent exposure to letters and sounds. Language development is expanded from
previous classes.
