Our mission statement reflects an understanding of the importance nature plays in learning and development during the first few years of life.
Our preschool program is ideal for children aged 2 1/2 years to five years old. Our curriculum includes many activities based on nature, such as gardening and exploring our outdoor space. Children learn about the world around them through play. We believe that this helps prepare them for their future in Kindergarten. Every child has unique abilities and our teacher will follow their lead by allowing them to explore, grow, play, and make connections on their own with questions.
At this age, the children enjoy using their creative imagination to learn. We will practice solving problems through trial and error activities when exploring the environment around us. We will help encourage the children to develop skills that allow them to manage their emotions with themselves and others.They will also continue to practice their numbers, shapes and letters in a more concrete way.
When setting up positive learning experiences we will encourage the children to identify emotion cards that may motivate them to develop empathy and help them recognize feeling in others. To expand on movement we will set up learning experiences that allow the children to get up move around and explore using their fine and gross motor skills in a playful environment.
