Preschool 1 & 2 Classrooms - children ages 3-5 years old Teacher/children ratio is 1:10Age Characteristics As children grow, their interest spans increase as well. They are able now to concentrate more, follow directions better and stay focused longer. They acquire knowledge about the physical and social worlds in which they live by playful interaction with objects and people. Children want to make sense of their world. By the time children are four years old, they are able to share with each other; they like to build and make things – they are able to make objects and name them. Dramatic play is more enjoyable now that they can divide roles and play together. Children are imaginative, creative and experimental – and they bloom when given opportunities to use these qualities. Our major goal for the program for 3 & 4 year-olds is to build a security for the child. When children feel secure, they become more independent, which lead them to explore the world around them and develop more life skills. Our teachers encourage independence and responsibility, while at the same time being available to them for help. Our Program for Preschool 1 class – ages 3 to 4 Our preschool program starts on last week in August and goes through first week in June. Most of the learning happens in the morning, though we will work individually with children who miss their morning learning time. Our three’s will learn to recognize letters of alphabet and numbers 1-10, colors and shapes, concepts of opposites, calendar and weather, etc. We teach them life and social skills, help them to learn to gain independence; through everyday interaction with other children they learn how to take turns, share, and use words to communicate their feelings. We have new learning topic every week: we incorporate art and craft activities, science experiments, circle time and building with blocks and manipulatives; we have music and movement time, finger plays and games; dramatic play and cooking; sand / water play (in warm season) and field trips (year-round). Our Program for Preschool 2 class – ages 4 to 5 The children who have been in our preschool program for 1 year now continue with their second year of preschool. They will now learn to write all the letters of alphabet, their names, and learn numbers 1-25. |
