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.
