Welcome to our Preschool Program!
Our preschool
Program is designed to help children continue their learning experience and to transition from Early Learner to
Pre-Kindergarten. Your child will have a wonderful day full of fun learning activities.
What do we teach?
Academics :
We use the Sing,
Spell, Read, and Write Preschool Curriculum from August to May. This program uses songs and
hands-on activities to teach Kindergarten readiness skills. Children will enjoy moving
along the Jolly Trolley Chart as they accomplish each lesson. This inivative curriculum teaches phonics, letter and
number recognition, classification, opposites, rhyming, and much more. We will also introduce Spanish colors and numbers
1-10. Each day your child will have a lesson sheet to bring home allowing them to share with you the topic learned for
that day.
Children also learn the days of the week, months of the year, and the Pledge of Allegience. We
help children improve skills such as cutting, gluing, and writing. Each child will learn to write and recognize
their first name, recognize letters, numbers to 10, and count to 20. We will also introduce the sounds of each
letter.
We know children learn best through exploration and experience. Our classrooms are set up into learning
centers. Learning centers allow children to learn through playing. Each month, teachers add new themed units to
their Discovery Center for children to experience. Units include bones, spiders, plants, teeth, and much more!
This offers a great way for children to learn and grow.
Self-help Skills :
Children
want to be independent at this age and we want to help them gain some independence by teaching self-help skills. Children
will be taught to use the toilet on their own including to wipe themselves. Children will also learn to dress themselves,
hang up their own coats, put away their supplies, and clean up after themselves.
Physical Development
:
We help children develop physically with movement in the classroom as well as outdoor activities.
Our indoor activities include a tumble mat, balance beam, and tunnel. We also use dance, exercise and afternoon games
to help children develop motor skills. Playdough, puzzles, and manipulatives are used to help improve fine motor
skills.
Outdoor activities include running and climbing on playground equipment. A concrete area devoted
to balls and games. Relay races and team games also allow children to develop social skills. We have slides, swings,
teeter totters, dinosaurs, and climbing toys on our playground.
