Through songs and flash cards, kids in our Pre-School Program learn the days of the week and months of the year as well as shape, color, letter, and number recognition. After a story, members practice their penmanship, learning to write their names letter by letter. Children explore counting, sorting, and recognizing patterns as part of their early literacy development. Puzzles and learning games are also a part of the daily curriculum.
Children have opportunities to play, share, and explore with their peers through a variety of activities during free play, circle time, and group games. Singing songs, acting out dramatic plays, and participating in arts & crafts are just a few of the ways that kids can tap into their creative sides during the day while bonding with their peers. and developing their social-emotional skills.
Blocks, Legos, and building gears/links are all made accessible to the children so they can experiment with and explore physics by engineering simple machines and structures. Members also have dedicated time in the technology center to play computer based learning games.
Every member of our Pre-School Program is provided with a FREE breakfast, lunch and snack daily! Kids have gym time and (weather permitting) outdoor time on our completely renovated playground each day, as well as time in our indoor gross motor skills room to get them up and active.
