Preschool Programs
"Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best." -Bob Talbert
GOALS:
Social & Emotional: Continue encouraging positive interactions, sharing, and cooperation among peers. Expand on positive social skills. Gain knowledge of self, family, and cultures.
Cognitive: Provide opportunities for early literacy, math, and science exploration. Begin setting goals and working towards them. Ask "why?" and explore different solutions. Increase further development of receptive and expressive language.
Physical Development: Provide opportunities that enhance coordination, balance and strength. Engage in activities like drawing, cutting, and manipulating objects to refine dexterity.
Creative Expression: Allow children to explore various art mediums, observe, and experiment. Encourage imaginative play that develops storytelling skills.
Independence: Reinforce self-care skills, provide opportunities for children to make choices and decisions.
Cultural Awareness: Introduce diversity through activities, stories, and celebrations of different cultures. Offer opportunities for community outreach.
