Learning Domains
Language/Literacy
Story time is a big favorite of many children. It helps grow imagination and creative thinking. The children are also taught basic letter and word recognition to prepare them for reading on their own and practice writing daily.
Science/Sensory
Learning and science can be so fun when we bring it to life. During the year the children make sensory bags, dig through ice to find dinosaur bones, make slime and much more. Some of the ways they grow in different skills while doing different activities are, observing, asking questions, communicating, measuring, predicting, and making mistakes.
Math
Promoting early math skills at an early age is one of the main predictors of success in reading and math. Children will develop their number sense, begin adding and subtracting, use classification and explore spatial relations.
Creative Arts
Arts and craft is one of the children’s favorite times. Children get to express themselves through art in multiple different ways. All age groups get to experience different ways to use materials to create masterpieces. They are able to use anything from beans to shaving cream to design unique projects. Teachers will provide the materials and all the children to explore the materials in their own way.
Music/Movement
Music and movement is an everyday activity in all classrooms. Children use different instruments to dance to music or create their own. It’s a time to express themselves using their body or instruments. Teachers allow children the choice for independent or group music time such as creating a band.
Engineering
Engineering activities give children the opportunity to grow, and promote social and emotional learning. Children will experience hands-on activities that encourage problem solving, critical thinking, and incorporate basic engineering concepts.
