Teachers will begin largely focusing on the children’s fine motor skills. The children will learn the correct way to hold and handle a pencil, use scissors to cut a straight line, and tracing letters and numbers.
Our staff will implement lesson plans that will focus on language arts, math/cognitive, science/sensory, art, motor skills, and music and movement. The children will be required to master the recognition of all shapes and colors before entering the preschool classroom. Along with mastering the recognition of shapes and colors they will be working on continuing to recognize letters, numbers, their name in print, and their friends’ names in print.
Our wonderful staff will assist your child in letter recognition, number recognition, one to one correspondence, patterning, early writing skills, and more. The children will participate in teacher facilitated lessons such as circle time, reading, writing, and math activities. The children will also be encouraged to explore the classroom centers which are strategically placed with learning toys that will encourage them to learn on an individual level through play.
We will begin exploring the world of technology by introducing computers into the classrooms, engaging children through interactive games and software with an educational purpose. The children will be exploring the outside world with outside play time, both in the morning and afternoon (weather permitting). The children will enjoy a wonderful playground with age appropriate equipment where they can climb, run, and ride bikes on the bike track.
