Preschool

3 Teachers / 19 Children per day / Ages 3-5 years

The Preschool room serves children until they are eligible for kindergarten (born on or before August 31st). The classroom is arranged in a series of learning centers providing structured activities with choices and weekly and/or monthly themes.  The monthly theme will be used as a guide to reach predetermined monthly goals. For instance, during an Olympic year, this theme will be used to teach and learn about sportsmanship, teamwork, and world cultures.

Our approach remains socially orientated and provides the children the opportunity to become involved in decision making. Children choose their desired activity by placing their photo in the offered activity on the Choice Board. Activities are limited to a certain number of participants so children must recognize and determine if space is available. This encourages the children to choose their activity based on the activity itself, instead of the presence of friends. 

Diapers are not permitted in the Preschool room.
