3 years to 5 years
In our preschool program we focus on gaining social skills while adding an academic component that is developmentally appropriate. We continue to offer a play-based program that prepares students for kindergarten in a developmentally appropriate way.
Curriculum
We continue to work on early literacy and writing skills as well as early math skills to prepare all students for Kindergarten. Science and discovery activities stimulate curiosity as the children learn valuable lessons about themselves and the world around them. Art and music activities encourage individual expression.
Sleep
Preschoolers have a nap period between 12:30- 2:30 P.M.. A sheet and blanket are required. A pillow and resting friend are optional. A child must rest on their cot for at least an hour. If they no longer take naps, after that hour, they are then allowed to come to the table and do quiet activities until the other children are awake. During the summer, children who are entering kindergarten will not be required to rest.
Feeding
Breakfast is at 8:30 A.M., lunch is at 12:00 P.M. and snack is at 2:30 P.M.. Preschoolers are expected to be able to eat their lunch with utensils and use a cup without a cover.
