Where Life-long
Learning
Begins

Preschool Program (3 to 4 year olds)

Our Preschool program focuses on your child's primary areas of development: language arts and literacy, mathematics, science, social and emotional development, and gross and fine motor development. Various activities are designed, which include recognizing print through learning center signs, dramatic play, practice counting beads or blocks, learning about people, plants and animals, participating in activities with their peers, practicing balance, jumping and throwing, and learn about patience.

Social and Emotional Skills

We start with your child becoming aware of the other children in the classroom and move on to encouraging the children to engage in group play. Your child will be encouraged to refer to his/her friends by name as well as engage in dramatic play activities, such as pretending to shop at the grocery store or acting out stories. Two year olds are experiencing a wide variety of emotions, much more than when they were infants and toddlers. Our program guides the children to express their emotions in healthy and safe ways. Caring teachers will show children different ways to convey their emotions, from sadness and frustration to happiness and joy.

Communication Skills

Our teachers provide children with the tools they need to communicate within their classroom community by guiding them to put their desires into words. Children are encouraged to identify common objects and speak in three-to-five-word sentences.

Fine Motor Skills

Two year olds are bolstering their fine motor skills in the Creative Arts Center. They are having fun finger painting, making collages, coloring with sidewalk chalk, and creating with clay. They are also able to accomplish basic self-help tasks, such as pouring juice into a cup during snack time and putting on their jackets and shoes.

Gross Motor Skills

Our program focuses on all gross motor skills, which include ball throwing, climbing, balancing, kicking, walking, and running. Children are encouraged to climb, jump, hop, and run on the playground to strengthen their leg muscles.

Cognitive Skills

Cognitive skills are the foundation of learning and knowledge. At age two, children's cognitive skills are expanding quickly. Our program challenges the children to become even more aware of their environment by asking questions and inviting them to solve problems. Teachers provide the children with many activities designed to encourage them to distinguish between textures, and to identify shapes and colors.
