Our Program
offers individualized activities
that will encourage the growth and development of both social and
cognitive skills. We enhance both fine and large motor skills
through various activities. Daily lesson plans are taught based on
weekly themes. We also encourage independent and directed play
through the following learning centers:
LANGUAGE -
Language stimulation is developed on all levels from letter
recognition to reading readiness. A child's interest and skills are
developed through the use of puppets, flannel boards, library,
vocabulary and writing activities.
MATH - Using familiar
manipulatives and activities, teachers develop basic math concepts,
stimulating a child's inquisitiveness by means of sorting, counting,
problem solving, and patterning. As a result, math is made more
meaningful in real life problems and situations.
SCIENCE - Teachers use a
hands-on approach. A wide variety of topics are taught including:
seasons, our world, "all about me," etc. Projects and experiments
extend the learning program stimulating excitement through
observation using the senses of sight, sound, taste, and touch.
SPANISH - Children,
aged 3 and over, will be
able to recognize numbers and colors by using the language and they are
encouraged to speak in basic phrases. This introductory curriculum
includes greetings, seasons, shapes, clothing, names, identification
of everyday objects and other basics.
COMPUTERS - Age appropriate
programs are used to teach basic skills. The use of specialized computer software reinforces all areas of curriculum as well
as eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills.
LIBRARY - Appreciation and
enjoyment of reading are developed through daily group reading, with
recognition of authors and their writing styles. The children have a
once-a-week visit to the in-house library.
MUSIC - Music activities help the
child to hear differences in sounds, discover rhythm, and develop
movement skills and spatial awareness. There is a once-a-week
structured class in music plus in-classroom sessions where songs are used to enrich
the learning experience in areas of concept and language
development..
SOCCER
- Introduction to this fast-paced and highly aerobic sport is
available as an enrichment program.
