Preschool School Good start for your child

Curriculum

Toddlers

The Toddler Class offers an introduction to a classroom setting for children ages 24 - 36 months. This is a positive first time classroom experience in which the child has the opportunity to function as part of a group; there are structured activities and art projects, free play, large motor activities in the "gym" and lots of outdoor play. Our cirriculum has a strong focus on the arts, literature, and music appreciation. We encourage children to dream, use their imagination, sing, and dance. The Faculty are responsive to the childrens needs and interact both individually and in small groups with the children. The cirriculum is carefully desinged to reflect the interests of these Toddlers. The ultimate goal of this program is to promote the social and emotional development of the children as well as to spark the child's enthusiasm for participating in a group while learning.

Three Year Olds

The Three Year Old Classes are desinged to meet the needs of children with limitless energy and curiosity. We work on gross and fine motor skills through playing games, creating artwork, as well as indoor and outdoor play. As the children become ready: we begin to work on letter recognition and formation, as well as introductory math concepts. A major part of the 3 year old classroom cirriculum is expanding vocabulary and increasing the use of articulate verbal expression. Sharing, playing cooperatively, and being aware of each other's needs are also stressed. We encourage autonomy: having the children take off and put on outerwear, hang up thier belongings, put mail in thier backpacks, and allowing them to express their needs. The cirriculum also has a strong focus on artwork, literature, music, and movement. We encourage the children to learn and be creative by using all of these outlets.

The pre-kindergarten classes are committed to providing an atmospher that encourages growth and learning through the discovery and exploration of the things in our world. Our Pre-K teachers have a Masters Degree in Education and provide a classroom environment that encourages independence, creative expression, curiosity, and having a healthy respect for others. We strive to increase the child's skills that will enhance their ability to suceed in Kindergarten and beyond. The children have the opportunity to use their writing and pre-reading skills, perform scientific experiments and discoveries, and are exposed to art and music. We also enjoy to taking field trips that enhance what is being learned in the classroom.

The Mommy & Me program is designed to provide a fun and safe social setting for children ages 16 months (walking) and up. Mommy & Me allows the young child an opportunity to participate in a preschool setting along with the security of having Mom (or another caregiver) accompany them. Under the guidance of an Early Childhood Educator, this unique program offers a warm and loving setting for the child to explore and develope a love of language, arts, music, and games. Our goal is to establish a positive first classroom experience which will aid in the natural progression to future educational experiences.
