Philosophy
The Pre-Kindergarten Program shall expose children to a vocabulary-rich, nurturing environment where learning takes place through multiple opportunities and interests. The curriculum provides the framework for students to be taught according to stages of child development and according to each child’s own individual needs. Pre- K is intentional and primary focus is placed on the whole child. Teachers shall be highly knowledgeable about child development and the subjects and standards required to teach pre-kindergarten students.
Goals
The following goals have been established for pre-kindergarten students:
- Develop rich oral language and a robust vocabulary.
- Acquire knowledge of skills and concepts taught in each subject area.
- Develop social skills and emotional control.
- Transition smoothly through instructional routines of learning through play in centers, small groups, and age-appropriate environments.
