Preschool Program (2 - 5 years). Our curriculum is developmentally based and uses a Thematic Approach to learning. This is enhanced by integrating Art, Music, Movement, Literature, Pre-Reading, Math, Language Development, Science, Social Studies and Multi-Sensory Experiences. Classrooms are arranged into interest areas that give children options for making decisions on where and how they want to learn and explore. Learning activities alternate with indoor and outdoor play periods every day, weather permitting.
Each child develops at their own pace and we encourage communication between staff members and parents on the progress of their child. In addition to daily reports, classroom news and monthly newsletters we schedule parent/teacher conferences in the spring. Additional conferences can be scheduled at a mutually convenient time if a teacher or parent feels it would be beneficial for the child. We invite parents to visit us, ask questions and make suggestions to help us make this a successful experience for their child.
