For the Pre-K Four's age appropriate child initiated and teacher initiated activities provide children with the opportunity to work and play with other children, to express themselves creatively through art, music, dramatic play and language and to communicate feelings and ideas.
Throughout all we do with children, we incorporate the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS) in the daily play-based activities of our curriculum. We also offer weekly gym class, bi-weekly music class and daily outdoor time in our expansive playground.
Our programs run from September to June with Camp offered June/July.
We offer two 4’s (Pre-K) classrooms that meet 5 days a week from 8:45 am – 11:45 am.
Each classroom transitions through daily experiences: Arrival & Morning Meeting, Center Time, Individual and Small Group Activities, Clean up, Group or "Circle Time", Snack, Book Time, Outdoor (active) play and Dismissal. The sequence remains predictable, but the length for each is flexible, allowing the teachers to capitalize on students interests and activities.
Classroom schedule may look like:
Classroom Arrival
Morning Meeting
Center Time (Free Choice Time)
Individual and Small Group Activities
Clean up
Group Time (Circle Time)
Snack
Outdoor Play/Active Play
Dismissal
