The program for children aged 3-4 concentrates on fostering emerging skills, including recognizing numbers, names, and letters, learning about shapes and colors, and promoting fine motor development. This is achieved through a combination of play, social interactions, intentional instruction, and activities tailored to the children's interests. It's also a crucial phase for social and emotional development. Although it's encouraged for children to be fully toilet trained before joining a preschool program, it's not mandatory, and many may still use training aids during rest time when they initially start preschool.
The room layout is designed to support each child's development by incorporating activities that align with their individual interests, providing challenges and opportunities for success. Each day brings a variety of emotions, energy levels, and interests. Our Center focuses on relationship-based care, prioritizing the unique needs of each child in our care. If children display an interest in something different from what's provided, we adapt our routine as educators to enable children to explore, discover, and play according to their desires.
Preschool Education and Care Program
Preschool children are in the process of exploring their environment, acquiring new skills, and forming friendships with their peers. To engage their minds and keep them active, our daily schedule is packed with activities designed for preschoolers.
An important aspect of our program is preparing children for kindergarten readiness. We incorporate activities throughout the day that equip children for successful learning when they enter school.
Educational programming covers several key areas:
Social/Emotional: Our environment instills values in preschoolers and helps them become competent and self-assured individuals. We utilize a curriculum to teach children about emotions and how to express them appropriately.
Physical: Through daily motor activities, encompassing both large and fine motor skills, preschoolers learn to take personal responsibility for their physical needs. As they master new skills, they become more willing to tackle new and challenging tasks.
Cognitive: Children's minds develop through their daily experiences, and we encourage imagination and creativity through dramatic play, art, sensory exploration, science, music, math, and literacy activities.
Language: Literacy and language activities are woven into all aspects of the classroom. Listening skills, spoken words, written words, and group storytelling offer opportunities for children to expand their vocabulary and become proficient readers. We also introduce sign language and Spanish throughout their daily activities.
The aim of our preschool program is to prepare students for their transition to kindergarten, ensuring they feel at ease and confident in doing so. We place special emphasis on early literacy skills, furthering fine motor development, and fostering comprehension of mathematical concepts.
