All three-year-olds show curiosity and the need to investigate.
Your child asks questions such as who, what, when, and why.
We will be helping them to answer these questions. They are developing their language skills and engaging
in simple conversations. They are developing more sophisticated social skills. They enjoy being with other
children. They want to have and be a friend. They are learning to share and wait their turn. They are
beginning to understand that people are both alike and different in how they look and feel.
When they play with blocks and in sand, water, and dirt they are learning about the physical world. When
they role play in Dramatic Play Center they are working on making sense of their world. When they use free
choice art materials they are learning to plan, use fine motor skills, complete a task, and to take
responsibility for cleaning up after themselves.
In Preschool we talk about feelings and manners, read and tell stories, sing songs, dance to music, do art
projects, cook, garden, investigate math and science concepts, learn about colors, shapes, and sounds, and
become even more independent. We also have a lot of FUN!
As children play, our teachers observe how they use materials and what sparks their interests. We listen to
find out what they are thinking. We ask questions to challenge them further and, with the information we
gather, we plan lessons and set up developmentally appropriate activities that foster their cognitive and
social growth. This also serves as a base from which we prepare Work Sampling System assessments to conduct
semi-annual parent / teacher conferences.
We would like to welcome you and your child as they make the step of starting Preschool.
