Circle Time: Is a group gathering that involves activities which involve sequencing, patterning, calendar and letter/number recognition, storytelling, and building word walls, all designed to stimulate thinking, enrich social skills, and expand attention spans.
Literacy Development: We build a strong foundation in language and literacy through listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities. These activities help children develop communication skills, vocabulary, letter recognition, and comprehension. Story time is designed to help preschoolers develop an appreciation and enjoyment of literature.
Math Activities: Our Pre-K program provides numerous hands-on and real-life experiences to develop children's mathematical thinking. Activities include counting, exploring geometric shapes, understanding measurement, interpreting graphs, and working with patterns and sorting, fostering a strong foundation in early math concepts.
Fine Motor Activitiy: Children refine their fine motor skills through engaging activities that improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Cutting with scissors, gluing, tracing shapes, and assembling objects provide essential practice for future writing and artistic expression.
Social-Emotional Development: We foster social-emotional growth by promoting positive interactions, cooperation, sharing, concern for others, and respectful communication. Children learn essential social skills like following directions, expressing themselves appropriately, and finding constructive ways to resolve conflicts
Dramatic/Creative Play: Our program encourages imaginative play and creativity through media exploration and the manipulation of various materials. Children engage in dramatic play scenarios, using their imaginations to take on different roles, build stories, and develop problem-solving abilities.
Special Programming: We provide additional enrichment opportunities for our Pre-K students. Music by Miss Annie is offered periodically, and we host exciting visits from Liberty Township Firetruck & Firefighters. Additionally, our Monday Enrichment activities allow children to progress at their own pace, reducing stress and nurturing a passion for learning.
