Part Time Preschool Program

Preschool

We encourage these skills and more, as they start learning the alphabet, songs, color, paint, and how to eat and drink on their own – at chairs and tables like the big kids! Through our primary caregiving approach, we establish trusting relationships with both children and families, ensuring a smooth transition into the world of early childhood education. Our goal is to support the physical, emotional, developmental, and social needs of infants while maintaining open communication with parents and guardians to provide the best possible care.

Pre-K3

In our Pre-K 3 program, we focus on fostering comprehensive development in social-emotional, physical, language, cognitive, literacy, and mathematical skills. Children learn to regulate their emotions by seeking comfort, demonstrating emerging patience, and understanding rules and routines with occasional reminders. They build positive relationships with adults, manage separations with resilience, and respond empathetically to emotional cues. In peer interactions, they cultivate friendships and use effective strategies for group participation, displaying cooperation by taking turns and problem-solving with adult assistance when needed. Physical development is encouraged through purposeful movement, balancing activities, and gross motor skills like manipulating balls, while fine motor skills are refined through the use of writing and drawing tools. Language and cognitive growth are emphasized as children expand their vocabulary, construct clear sentences, and narrate simple stories with logical order. They engage in conversations, practicing social language rules with reminders, and follow both simple and multi-step directions. Creativity and problem-solving are fostered through imaginative play, flexible thinking, and recalling familiar experiences to connect with everyday situations. Symbolic thinking emerges as children classify objects, use symbols in play, and engage in socio-dramatic activities. Literacy skills develop through phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, and interactive reading experiences, while writing progresses from scribbles to forming letters and strings. In math, children count objects, connect numerals with quantities, and explore spatial reasoning, shapes, and patterns, laying the foundation for more advanced concepts.
