Preschool
Program
ages 3-5
The
commitment to excellence carries through to the preschool
program. The kindergarten-readiness curriculum is a
center-based, theme orientated program that allows children
to make choices with regard to the activities they will
participate in and provides them with the tools to be
successful. At each stage of preschool development, careful
consideration is given to classroom arrangement and the
selection of developmental learning materials. To enhance
the individual learning process, the preschool classroom is
arranged in the following learning centers: art, blocks,
dramatic play, home living, transportation, music and
movement, sensory. Gross Motor development is enhanced in
the Large Motor Room. Each learning center is abundant with
engaging activities corresponding with the weekly theme.
Children interact with a variety of materials to discover
and learn. It is through this child directed play and fun
that preschoolers are actually learning concepts such as
counting, letter recognition, sounds, shapes, colors,
sequencing and listening skills in preparation for
kindergarten.
Communication
continues to be an important aspect of your family's
experience at Teddy Bear Day Care. Daily activities and the
mastery of skills are shared with you each day.
