Creating a World of Play: What Children Are Learning

The purpose of the preschool program is to provide opportunities for each child to grow emotionally, physically, intellectually, and socially. Each day, children will engage in a variety of learning activities. Our intentionally organized learning experiences are planned to build self-esteem, challenge children's thinking and reasoning skills, encourage healthy relationships with peers and staff, and explore various curriculum topics. Children will spend time in self-directed learning centers that include blocks, dramatic play, math and manipulatives, art, discovery, computers, sand and water table (sensory), and literacy centers. The following list highlights what children will be learning at each interest area.
