CURRICULUM
The Utah Early Childhood Core Standards are taught in both Spanish and English through the application of DIA's 90:10 language immersion model. Students develop core concepts in Spanish while also practicing English language skills. DIA's preschool curriculum consists of six basic content areas:
Language Arts
Mathematical Literacy
Approaches to Learning and Science
Social-Emotional & Social Studies
Creative Arts
Physical Health & Safety
Weekly participation in art, music, and physical education programs offers students continuous skill development through participation in intentional, developmentally appropriate activities.
This guided learning is supported through two research-based curriculums. Read more information below:
