Preschool: 2 ½ to 3 ½ Years Old

Preschoolers have been growing, learning, and discovering, and now they are excited to share everything they know with their friends. We will continue to develop and model empathy during this stage in your child’s development. We will focus on unstructured, imaginative play, which helps learners develop language skills. We will practice writing – not only on paper, but through the use of other materials such as sand, sugar and even shaving cream! Through the use of big books, your child will begin to understand that words do not change, but remain the same each time they are read. Beginning word sounds and recognition of rhymes will be taught to ensure long-term reading success. Little learners will begin to understand numbers and counting in everyday use. They will begin to learn organizational skills as it applies to projects, crafts and playtime – from start to cleanup. Children are fueled by the desire to explore any new avenue or undertaking they can find. The teachers at Children’s Garden Day School design activities and lessons to peak your children’s curiosity and make learning fun! Our budding Boys and girls will be encouraged to help one another explore and learn together, teaching them to cultivate and foster their new socialization skills.
