Pre-School

In this age group, all children must be potty trained.  Areas of self-help that we will be working on will be learning how to self-serve at meal time, cleaning up after meal time, dressing ourselves,  making our beds for nap time and putting our mats away after nap time.  We will be working toward group activities, rather than parallel play.  Problem solving, name recognition, alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, eye hand coordination, cutting skills, writing skills, cognitive development, lacing, balance, catching and throwing  among many other things.

Social development with this age group the children will strive for independence.  Teachers will encourage the children to branch out and work more independently in the Learning centers.  Teacher directed activities will increase from the Toddler program, sharing on music, stories, building concepts and ideas, allowing the children to think and build on the ideas previously established in the Toddler class.

At this age, children will begin to interact more closely with their peers, and engage with cooperative play. We will be learning to resolve conflict and build friendships.
