Curriculum:
This space is designed using "stations" to allow your child to explore new things including their independence.  This program runs from August through June. Attendance is required. does not break for summer months; instead the group shifts to science lessons which include building their own garden of fruits and vegetables in the playground.  The PreK classroom uses stations to offer your child a variety of experiences throughout the day. Each station is designed using different curriculum pieces. Curriculum in this program is rewritten each year to ensure that the individual needs of the currently enrolled children in the classroom are being met. We feel that there isn't one curriculum that "covers it all" for our kids and so we like to use pieces from a few.
*Observations and Assessments are completed in this room using Ages & Stages and Work Sampling.
Parent Communication:
Our program uses Tadpoles! This allows us to not only record your child's daily activities such as nap, meals and what they played with but also has an option for us to attach photos and video right to the sheet! At the end of each day, your child's daily report is emailed directly to your inbox. Not only is the information confidential but convenient!
