Curriculum Objectives

We believe that preschoolers learn through play and we strive to work with the children in each of these areas by using interactive, age-appropriate experiences in language, science, math social studies, art and music.

Each day brings opportunities to play, investigate and express ideas through:

GROUP LIVING – Planning, working and playing in an organized experience so that desirable habits and attitudes, independence and responsibilities are established.

ART – Self-expression through the use of paints, clay, crayons, finger-painting, cutting and tearing, etc.  We stress creative and motivated art, not directed art.  Children are urged, at all times, to use their ideas and be creative.

LANGUAGE ARTS – Enjoying stories, poems, pictures, conversation and dramatization while increasing their own knowledge and use of language.

MUSIC – Responding to and participating in a variety of musical experiences.

HEALTH & SAFETY – Learning good health habits; acquiring an intelligent understanding of safety rules at school and at home.

RESOURCE PRESENTATIONS – Individuals from our local community present topics of interest to help children establish appreciation for the people who contribute to their lives and provide a broadened and enriched knowledge of the world around them; includes dentists, nurses, storytellers, theater troupes, science professionals and more.
