2008-2009 Preschool and
Pre-Kindergarten Program
Our Mission Statement:
We empower children to become emerging learners through stimulating instruction, creative educational curriculum and a positive learning environment.
Program Overview
Teaching World Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten is designed in two program formats:
The Preschool class is comprised of three and four year olds. This class explores letters, numbers, shapes, colors, calendar activities, weather, pre-reading and pre-math skills, art, music and science exploration. Classes are Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.
The Pre-Kindergarten class is comprised of four and five year olds who will begin Kindergarten in the Fall of the following year. This class focuses on beginning reading skills (encompassing phonemic awareness, rhyme, syllabication and writing), numerical concepts (enhancing number recognition, value, writing and manipulation), and a variety of other skill concepts to prepare for Kindergarten. Classes are Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. We also have a 3-day program running on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and a 4-day program from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Staffing
Each class consists of fourteen students, one certified teacher and one assistant. Our staff completes a background check and an infant/child CPR certification class each year.

Program Design
Our Preschool program is designed for interactive learning. Students
begin each class session in an instructional setting; this is where letters, numbers, music, literature and other focus skills are introduced. The children are then offered opportunities to explore and learn in individualized centers where they work independently as well as in teacher directed activities.
Resources include a sand and water table, complete play kitchen, listening center, computers, art easels, Thomas-the-Train play center, musical instruments, magnetic wall, educational games and puzzles, a variety of building materials, reading library, dramatic play and parachute play activities.
