Our Preschool II program focuses on developing a natural curiosity for learning.
Our primary curriculum source for teaching language and listening skills is More Story Stretchers. Children begin to recognize their name in written form and develop social skills through interaction. Math concepts are taught through the Count On Math curriculum, where children learn math skills by interacting with a variety of manipulative toys. Our classrooms are designed for exploration enabling a child to build with blocks and other materials, pretend in the home living area, paint a masterpiece, and explore books. Coming together for music and songs, science, story time and poetry, these preschoolers develop confidence in being part of a group.
A typical Preschool program would include:
- Gathering activities, transition to program
- Breakfast, children return to activities when finished
- Circle time (Music and Movement)
- Outside play/indoor gross motor activities
