Mission Statement
The Preschool will seek to
develop in each Child, the skills and attitudes needed to ensure
successful progress, as he/she enters into the exciting adventure of
formal learning.
|
Philosophy
Young
children learn best through play. Preschool education gives teachers
the responsibility for arranging the classroom so that no matter
what the child chooses to play with, learning will occur. Using
their bodies climbing, jumping and running will develop the gross
motor skills. Math, reading, writing and social studies are all
learned through hands on activities appropriate to the child’s age.
Teachers and parents working together encourage the development of
independence, creativity and the desire to always learn more. It is
a process that is important in early childhood education.
Call us today at
637-3416. Enroll your 3, 4, or 5 year old child if he/she is toilet trained.
He/She lives in any of our neighboring communities. Do not let your preschooler miss out on a wonderful learning
experience.
For your convenience your preschooler can start preschool any given
month after the age of three and when he/she becomes toilet trained,
even if sessions have already begun.
What do we do in Preschool?
Circle
time
Is a group gathering during which we share ideas, plans, and
observations. Circle activities are designed to stimulate youngsters
thinking, enrich their social skills, and expand their attention
spans.
Gross
Motor Activities
Give children the opportunity to use their muscles as well as their
imagination as they engage in fun and healthy exercises, such as
running, jumping, and climbing.
Music
Activities
Promote youngsters listening skills, creative expression, and social
skills. In music children can explore sound, volume, tempo and
rhythm.
Story
time
Is designed to help youngsters develop an appreciation and enjoyment
of literature. Reading activities enhance children’s vocabulary and
comprehension skills, and also expand their knowledge base.
Fine-Motor Activities
Help improve small-muscle development and eye coordination. Some
common items found in the fine motor/manipulative includes puzzles,
beads and laces, pegboards, crayons and scissors.
Dramatic-Play Activities
Help children express themselves, practice life skills, improve
social skills, increase self esteem, build vocabulary and solve
problems as well. Dramatic play is just plain fun.
Sand
and Water Activities
Allow youngsters to experiment with textures and the properties of
different substances. These activities also promote the development
of other skills, such as math, science, and language.
Art
Activities
Help youngsters creatively express their thoughts and feelings. They
help reinforce fine-motor skills and concept development in areas
such as colors, shapes, and size relationships.
Sciences Activities Offer children many hands on opportunities for observation,
exploration, investigation, making predictions, and experimentation.
Block

shape and size, discrimination, spatial relationships, number
skills, balance, organization, cause and effect, and classification.
