Pre-K Program

Our Pre-K Program Encompasses:

Physical Development

~ The physical area of development is addressed when the children are running, jumping, kicking and throwing. They are developing their physical self. This area includes such skills as: large motor, small motor, and hand-eye coordination. Large motor skills are promoted through activities that integrate running, jumping, kicking, balancing, and so on. Small motor skills are addressed through cutting, pasting, drawing, coloring, painting, etc. Hand-eye coordination is aided through writing, drawing, cutting, lacing and coloring.

Emotional Development

~ Emotional development refers to the development of a sense of self. Some of the areas included in emotional development are: positive self-concept, self-control, feelings and emotions. The children are actively involved in activities that have been specifically designed to meet their age and ability levels. They will learn about themselves and those around them.

Social Development

~ The social area of development is perhaps one of the most important in a child's life. This area includes skills such as: getting along with others, cooperation, sharing, how to be a good listener, good manners and following directions. One of the major ways we do this is through group activities; especially games and circle time. Games teach rules, cooperation, and sharing. They also encourage the children to be good listeners.

Intellectual Development

~ One of the best ways for intellectual development is to teach children concepts such as numbers, colors, letters, getting along with others and character building qualities. Through investigation and experimentation, children are exposed to emotional, social, physical and cognitive concepts necessary in achieving a "whole child" approach. Some of the areas include: problem solving, memory skills and questioning.
