Preschool

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum promotes learning through play and social experience and encourages hands-on exploration within multiple learning centers. Our structured learning environment also allows room for children to make choices and grow in independence.

Physical Care

Our routines empower children to independently engage in self care practices that promote healthy living. Teachers guide children to effectively clean up and dress themselves for outdoor play. Children participate in discussions about healthy living and safety.  Ever patient and supportive, our teachers respond intentionally to the child’s cues for help in mastering self help skills.

Motor Skills

Preschoolers build skills through exploration! To prepare for the multifaceted work of writing, children engage in increasingly complex fine motor activities such as coloring, tracing, cutting, drawing, and approximating letters to represent written words. Our children also spend time building balance, muscle strength, and endurance while climbing, jumping, and running outdoors.

Social-Emotional Skills

In both of our preschool classrooms, teachers guide children to show increasing levels of persistence and independence when problem solving. Children are prompted to clearly communicate needs, desires, and feelings. Preschool learning is a social experience, so core values such as empathy and care for others are prioritized, modeled, discussed, and recognized through positive reinforcement.

Language Development

Our goal is to support preschoolers in developing strong identities and desire as readers such that they independently engage in early literacy activities often. Through shared, group writing experiences, children come to understand that writers write for different purposes and develop an awareness of text and labels in the environment. Children are introduced to the alphabet, develop phonological awareness through activities such as rhyming, and receive explicit instruction in phonics.

Math & Science

Children build number sense and learn fundamental concepts of science through experiments and playful activities such as cooking, counting, sorting, and sensory table activities.
