2010-2011 Preschool Program
Our Mission Statement:
We empower children to become emerging learners through stimulating instruction, creative educational curriculum and a positive learning environment.
Program Overview
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 8:30 to 11:30 a.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.
Curriculum
Through an academic focus, we instruct our young students in the following skill areas:
• Language and Listening
• Science Exploration
• Social Interaction
• Cultural Diversity
• Music and Art
• Creative Play
• Citizenship
• Gross/Fine Motor Skills

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.
