Our preschool program
My program is designed to give each child the opportunity to grow and flourish in an environment that they feel loved and nurtured. I will expose them to a variety of fun learning activities to enrich their vocabulary and understanding of the world around them through weekly themes. We will work on sharing, oral communication and use of manners to help develop social skills. Outside they will be encouraged to run, skip, hop, jump rope, play ball and other activities to work on building gross motor skills. Fine motor skills will be addressed through the process of coloring, painting, drawing, cutting, beading, and lacing to name a few. I will also start to prepare them for Kindergarten by teaching basic skills. We will work on letter recognition, phonemic awareness, blending, number recognition, counting, shapes, spatial relations, oral expression and name writing among others. I will try to tailor each lesson to each child's ability and needs. I want to help build their confidence in themselves and their abilities so they will go to school excited about learning and eager to partake in the learning process. Over the years I change up my curriculum based on the kids and interest of the children I have in care. I have planned my own my activities, used Scholastic "My Big World" magazines and have used the Mother Goose Time curriculum as a part of my daily instruction.
