Junior Preschool
At this age, your child is learning at a rapid rate, and as they grow and develop, the teacher adapts the curriculum, as well as the environment to meet both your child’s needs as well as their interests. Each classroom has a lesson plan created weekly, with activities individualized to the specific needs of each child in the classroom. Each activity on the lesson plan is purposeful and intentionally planned based on the teachers’ observations of each child in the classroom.
We introduce our junior preschoolers to letters, numbers, colors and shapes. Lesson plans include language development, learning the alphabet, recognizing numbers and learning to count.
Children spend most of the day in our learning centers, which are stations set up in each classroom. In centers, children choose activities from purposely planned play experiences. Teachers intentionally create environments and provide appropriate learning materials to allow your child to explore and learn on their own, as well as provide support in learning new skills. In our junior preschool classrooms, you will see several different learning centers such as art, science, dramatic play, library, blocks, puzzles and more.
