Beginning Preschool
(3 - 4 years)
Art, reading, dramatic play, blocks, manipulative and sand/water centers in the classroom will allow a selection of activities that children can play and work through independently, with a partner or in groups. Structured, teacher-led circle times will help children connect themes and ideas through stories, songs, visuals and special events. Hands on experiences that support choice, creativity, friendships and thinking skills will circle the child's day. Expressions of ideas and opportunities that use increased skills and knowledge focus on self-esteem and comfort level in the beginning preschool program.
