Three-Year Old Preschool
Two and one-half hours classes are now available featuring more learning opportunities. Perfect for the new early learner, the three-year-old program helps foster socialization and independence while introducing children to the classroom setting. Through teacher-directed activities, children learn to follow simple directions, make new friends and share with others in a group. Activities promote fine motor development through creative arts, cutting and gluing. Children are introduced to shape, number and color recognition through Show & Tell and themed activities while large motor skills are enhanced through gym, creative movement activities and outdoor play.
Four/Five-Year-Old Preschool
Experienced learners prepare for Kindergarten in a program designed for continued enrichment. Children develop readiness skills through exposure to upper-and lower- case letters, sound recognition, reading and writing activities, math concepts and color and shape review. Social skills and problem solving are enhanced through child directed play and teacher-directed group activities. Children explore and learn about the community through local field trips and community visitors.
