Pre-Kindergarten

Energetic, enthusiastic, and curious, our Pre-Kindergarten children are between the ages of four and five years old. They are establishing self-confidence and a positive attitude toward learning. Teachers provide opportunities for them to accomplish meaningful tasks and to participate in learning experiences in which they can succeed and yet be challenged.

Our enriched curriculum addresses learning in all developmental areas. The foundations of the early years of life are of crucial importance to intellectual development and the desire to learn. Our teachers at Children's Choice present basic concepts in an exciting way that is stimulating, fun, interesting, and involving.

Pre-Kindergarteners experience phenomenal growth in language through increasing vocabulary, using fuller and more complex sentences and improving conversational skills.

Math brings together the experiences, ideas, and skills to help children organize their world. Exploratory activities and interactions with materials lay the groundwork for the development of mathematical concepts. The content of the math curriculum may include matching, sorting, patterning, comparing, classifying, ordering, measuring and graphing.

Computer learning is an essential part of our curriculum. Reading and math skills are reinforced and strengthened by the independent use of the computer in each classroom.

An entertaining approach in teaching Spanish is presented through a variety of songs, games, videos, projects and worksheets.

Our Pre-K classroom is an ideal setting for developing social and emotional skills. Within this group, children relate to other children their own age. Through play, children are developing friendships that enable them to refine their social behavior.

We find that the children at our Center are able to express their feelings more openly. They have a sense of order, and are successful with problem solving. They are willing to assume responsibility, which results in building confidence and self esteem.

Sharing, listening to others, developing leadership skills, gaining confidence with others, and learning to conform to the rules of the group are all examples of by-products of early childhood socialization.

Experiences of the Pre-K child aid in the development of physical and motor functions. Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observation. Our gym program strengthen their gross motor skills while giving them the basics of exercise.
