Program
Overview
Writing
and Phonics (Daily)
Each day
begins with us introducing the daily Number and Color. We learn
and practice words that start with that letter and brainstorm our own
words (with helping clues sometimes!) We find the letter and the
number around the room and in our books. We practice the sound
that letter makes. All of these phonics activities will help us
to read later
on.
Mathematics
(Daily)
Building a mathematics foundation, even in these early years, is
critical. Math is so much more than numbers! Manipulatives make
learning math real! Touching and building to discover concepts
like big and small, more & less, over & under, fewer, many,
etc. is a sure way to help us learn, figure out and remember.
Social
Sciences (Daily)
Social Studies
helps us discover things about ourselves, our community, our world,
and the people in it. Health helps us to learn, understand, and
choose ways to take good care of ourselves. Science for the
preschool children is like magic! The things we uncover and
discover through experimentation are marvelous! We learn
concepts of “what”, “where”, “why”, and “how”
through hands on experiments each day. It doesn’t get better
than this!
Motor
Skills (Daily)
Gross motor
skills help us focus on and develop social skills, good sportsmanship,
and physical coordination. Fine motor skills help us with
hand/eye coordination, and finger/hand strength (for writing, cutting,
pasting, etc.) We don’t realize how important these skills are
in preparation for school (and life!)
Reading
and Writing (Daily)
Through Reading and Writing, we learn and understand that letters make
up words and words make up stories we hear and “read”.
Making that connection is critical to becoming successful readers.
We initially will begin to “scribble” things that may or may not
resemble letters, and eventually, those scribbles turn into purposeful
letter writing! Watch it happen!
Enrichment
(Daily)
Art class
encourages inner creativity and imagination! Kids create and
share their talents with the class and family. These daily works of
art are priceless treasures.
Computer
Labs (Daily)
Computers are
a wonderful tool for promoting independence and cognitive stimulation.
Who knew a 2 year old could master the mouse!
Music
Time (Daily)
Music time is
a time for self expression. Having the opportunity to learn to
create music is a proud and successful moment for a child. We
teach children the basics of understanding in following a rythym and
melodies.
Spanish
(Daily)
Learning
Spanish allows diversity and understanding into another culture or
style of speaking. Learning a second language opens many doors
to a future. |
