What do children do in a Pre-K class?
The casual observer may see a group of children simply playing. What they are really seeing is learning in action. In whole groups, small groups, or individually children are exposed to a wide variety of experiences through activity centers such as:
- Blocks – where math and science concepts are learned
- Dramatic Play – where important social skills are developed
- Sensory - where science and problem solving skills are sharpened
- Library – where early reading skills and a love for books can develop
- Writing - where ideas can be expressed in written form
- Art - where creative expression and exploration are encouraged
- Physical/Motor – where large and small muscles develop and strengthen
Our Pre-K program provides children with opportunities to make meaningful choices, practice skills, ask questions, solve problems, express creativity and develop confidence as learners, preparing them to become productive, successful children ready for Kindergarten.
The School Day 8:25 – 3:20Children are not allowed on campus until 8:00.
Breakfast - We go breakfast together as a class at 8:20. Centers – We spend 1/3 of our day in free choice centers. Outdoor Gross Motor – We spend 45 minutes outside on our playground each day. Snacks – Every child will have a turn each month to bring snacks for the entire class. Field Trips - We try to plan 4 field trips that are fun as well as educational that go along with our learning units. Recycling and Composting- We work very hard to be GREEN! We upcycle Capri Suns and chip bags. We also compost certain food from the cafeteria. Garden – We have our own garden that we maintain and actively use in Math and Science lessons. |
