Preschool & Kindergarten
Curriculum
Overview
The structured time at our center is during the preschool/kindergarten hours. Our school is designed to meet
the spiritual, perceptual, motor, social,
emotional, behavioral, and language development
needs of the child. Classes are limited
to 16 students (14 in our three year old
classes) with a teacher and assistant teacher
assigned to each class. In addition to regular
classroom teachers, we have a music teacher
and a professional storyteller who provides
drama and storytelling enrichment activities.
The
school has two enrichment centers called
the Block and Drama Center and the Music
Room. The Block and Drama Center is an activity
room with both building and creative play
equipment. Large multi-shaped and sized
pine blocks are available for creative building
of things and places. Sometimes the class
goes to the Block Room with a non-structured
goal (Ex., Build whatever you would like
today!” and sometimes the class goes
with a group goal (Ex., “Let’s
take the plastic zoo animals with us and
build a huge zoo with lots of rooms for
the animals!”). The Drama Center is
the creative play area with housekeeping
furniture and equipment, occupation hats
and outfits, dolls and accessories, kits
for specific play (i.e., hair dresser, birthday
party, etc.). The Music Room is a center
for music and movement activities. The music teacher holds classes 1-2 times weekly with the various classes.
