Preschool Program

Our preschool program for 3-year olds uses a multi-sensory approach within Frog Street Pre-K Adaptations. The Frog Street Curriculum is a comprehensive, research-based program that integrates instruction across developmental domains and early learning disciplines. Developmental experiences stimulate auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and tactile learning. Units of study are theme-based and encourage both the child’s natural curiosity and ability. 

 

Vocabulary development and auditory and visual perception skills (listening skills & eye/hand coordination) and storytelling skills are encouraged.

Science-based learning takes place through thematic units including animals, plants, insects, magnets, weather, and other practical experiences.

Enrichment classes are offered on a weekly basis in music, art, Spanish, P.E. and library.

Social Skills

Playing cooperatively with other children is a skill that is stressed, as well as sharing, respecting the rights of others, taking turns, following instructions, and others.

Readiness Skills

Students explore math concepts by sorting, matching, and patterning.

Fine Motor Skills

Cutting with scissors, using tongs, pouring, bead stringing, and working with play dough helps to encourage the growth of fine-motor skills needed for writing.

Gross Motor Skills

Physical fitness is achieved by working large muscles in our Music and Movement classes. Running, jumping, hopping, and kicking are used to achieve this goal and allow for the development of gross motor skills.

Self-Help Skills

Students are encouraged to manage tasks such as hanging up their school bags, cleaning up after themselves, washing their hands, blowing their noses, etc.

Creative Skills

Dramatic play, art activities, songs, and music encourage students to express their creativity.
