Fostering
a sense of wonder and an excitement for learning, Preprimary is a hands-on,
nurturing, and developmentally appropriate program for young children.
As three-year-olds learn
best by doing, Preprimary children have innumerable opportunities to explore,
try new things, and grow. Children
are encouraged to interact and role-play in both a dramatic play area and
outside; construct structures with blocks; build with a variety of manipulative
materials; use mixed media such as paints, Plasticine, clay, and sculpture
materials; investigate science through exploration; and begin to appreciate
literature through listening to stories and dictating their own. These, as well as many other play-based
activities, promote positive social, emotional, and academic growth. Bi-weekly special classes in music,
physical education, library, and art also complement our classroom activities.
From
learning how to master materials, to learning how to share and be part of a group,
our Preprimary children establish and enhance a well-rounded foundation for
future learning and development.
