Our preschool program offers a balance of free play and structured individual and group activities, which gives the children a well-balanced preschool education. At this age, children are developing more intimate peer relationships, asking questions about the world around them, and developing self-discipline and control. To enhance these skills, our program offers activities and experiences in the areas of science, math, beginner reading and writing, large and small motor skills, dramatic play, block play, plus creative and movement activities.
Each child is viewed as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth and development. Different levels of ability, development, and learning styles are considered when creating appropriate activities for this class. Children are allowed to select many of their own activities from among a variety of learning areas prepared by the teachers. This classroom continues to enhance reading and writing skills to prepare each child for kindergarten. Children are provided many opportunities to develop social skills such as cooperating, helping, negotiating, and talking with each other to solve problems.
