PRESCHOOL CARE
Our preschool program operates according to the following key aspects of school readiness:
- Forming stable relationships with adults who are emotionally invested in each child
- Creating group settings that offer peer interactions and the opportunity to learn social skills
- Providing educators who follow predictable and consistent routines daily
PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM
In all of our classrooms we use stimulating and engaging learning materials so that your child explores and has fun learning. Since young children learn best through play and by direct interactions with objects they can see and touch, classrooms are designed as learning centers with hands-on manipulative objects, and a variety of materials that allow children to make decisions on their own, thus learning through playful interactions. These include blocks and toys, a dramatic play and art center, music, sensory play, a reading/book corner, a writing center and a science center.
RATIOS
Preschool (ages 2.9 to 5 years) – the teacher – child ratio is 1:10.
