Welcome to Preschool One!
Our focus in Preschool One is to foster the development of the whole child, through planned curriculum in an environment that encourages spontaneous learning. Throughout our calendar year we incorporate activities based on monthly themes. These activities are divided into the major areas of development (gross and fine motor, social & emotional, language, arts & crafts, math, science and nutrition).
The classroom is set up into centers that promote learning through play. We have a block area, art center, book nook, manipulative and sensory tables and dress up area. Throughout the year we rotate some materials and toys in each center to incorporate new learning experiences. A major part of our curriculum is encouraging all of the children in our class to build positive relationships with each other. We work with your child to help them move from parallel play to cooperative play in social situations.
We are separated into two groups for the purposes of appropriate curriculum geared to developmental needs (loosely based on age). We have a larger group with two teachers and a smaller one with one teacher. The smaller groups help with one on one learning opportunities and allow us to plan appropriately to meet your child's needs.
