Philosophy: We believe that the educational developments in the earliest years of life are the most important and the most in need of attention. We have a greater responsibility than ever to reassess the role of early childhood education in the life of young children and the role of Pre-Kindergarten as the first link in a chain of instruction. Success in a child's progress through school depends largely on the foundation laid in the early years. Our Pre-Kindergarten program is designed to help meet this goal. ** You may download a detailed packet of the following at the bottom of the page. |

Curriculum: Our Pre- Kindergarten curriculum is based on "The Land of the Letter People." It is the second level in the continuum of Letter People Programs. It is designed to give early learners all the literacy tools necessary to grow quickly and with confidence, in their ability to learn to read and write. The Land of the Letter People starts where the child is and offers a wide range of whole class, small group, and individual learning experiences to meet each child's needs. The curriculum encompasses oral language, print awareness, phonological and phonemic awareness, alphabetic knowledge, word recognition, vocabulary development, writing and spelling, reading fluency and comprehension. All of these skills are incorporate in a theme, along with lessons on social studies, math, science, health and safety, art and music. |

Program Description: Our program is designed to stimulate students of varying backgrounds and levels of achievement. We have concise but comprehensive descriptions of the developmental skills expected of our Pre-Kindergarteners. Our program also contributes to all aspects of a child's developmental needs: spiritual, physical, cognitive, language, social and emotional. All the young child's developing potentials should be challenged, exercised and supported. Young children learn best through interaction with their environment. Through repeated activities with concrete objects, 4 year olds assimilate new elements into their already formed ideas about reality and accommodate or change these ideas when newly assimilated knowledge causes them to do so. They eagerly engage symbolic thought by representing ideas and events with words, drawings and dramatic play. To the Pre-Kindergarten child learning is an exciting endeavor! |
