Preschool Programs
Three and Four Year Old Room/ Kindergarten Readiness
     The three and four year old classroom offers care and beginning preschool activities for children from age three until beginning five. Skills attained in the two year old room are built upon to foster further independence. We continue to work on toileting, self dressing, table manners and other self help skills.
     At this age children are beginning to develop special friendships. They will learn to interact with peers. Group activities are extended and academic instruction will be being to take place. Activities are modified according to each child's individual needs, creativity and self-expression. They will be introduced to preschool concepts and are encouraged to explore the world through art, music, play and stories. 
     Some academic skills worked on in the preschool room are:
                                             Letter recognition 
                                             Letter Sounds and writing 
                                             Pre-reading through sight words
                                             Name recognition
                                             Number identification, writing, and order
                                             Color and shape recognition
                                             Directional words (up, down, in front of, behind....)
                                             Beginning letter and number writing
                                             Patterning and comparison of objects 
                                             And much, much more!       

Our preschool classroom offers centered areas similar to those utilized in most kindergarten classrooms. Learning centers foster independence in each child enabling them to explore their world, learn in multiple ways, and develop problem solving skills to last a lifetime! As children explore centered areas based in math, science, writing,  block building, dramatic play and art they are guided by their teachers to learn as much as they can! We take pride in knowing that children leaving our program for kindergarten have a well rounded education and are independent learners and thinkers!
