PRESCHOOL PROGRAM


 

Our preschool and pre-kindergarten program is designed to help all children to grow as individuals, emotionally, socially, mentally, and physically.  To prepare them for kindergarten, we introduce them to social disciplines through group activities and experiences, cooperation with adults and other children, learning to follow directions, respect for people and property, responsiveness and responsibility.  Each child will have the opportunity to express themselves through the use of creative materials such as paint, crayons, and various other art materials.  Self expression is also encouraged through the used of music, dance, games, and dramatic play such as acting out stories and songs with the use of our play equipment.   What a child considers play often teaches necessary fact, ideas, and concepts that they will use to develop future skills.

Formal evaluations are done throughout the school year using "Creative Curriculum Development Continuum Assessment".  This requires teachers to make daily written observations of each child. These observation are used to show strengths and needs of each child and activities are then planned and set up to take the chid to the next level of development. Parents receive a written report of their child's progress 3 times per school year.
