Preschoolers
Preschool Classroom
Our preschool classrooms are much larger than typical schools. This allows us to include many interest areas, including:
- Dramatic play (where children can dress up and take on family and community helper roles)
- Blocks and building
- Manipulatives and math
- Science
- Art and creative expression
- Cozy corner (a soft and calming area where children can go to relax and have time alone if they choose)
- Literacy
- Music and movement area
Outdoor Experiences
Children play and learn outside twice a day (weather permitting), and our teachers bring fun games and experiences from the curriculum into the great outdoors. Our playgrounds include materials such as climbers, trikes, swings, and other equipment that promote physical development. After lunch time, our children transition into nap or quiet time where they have the chance to rest their bodies before our fun filled afternoon begins.
Our Curriculum
Our preschool curriculum is based on what our children already know about each study topic and what they wonder or would like to learn. Our teachers adapt the available classroom experiences based on their students’ interests in order to scaffold and engage them in learning in ways that are meaningful to them. Our themes and studies range from learning about the different seasons to learning about how living things change and adapt to their environments. Our teachers bring these themes to life by changing the learning centers within the classroom by adding thematic toys, tools, and props. In this way, our themes are incorporated into each learning center.
