A typical four-hour preschool day might include a balance of activities such as:
- Arrival and Free Play (30 minutes): Children arrive, greet their teachers and friends, and engage in free play activities. This allows for a smooth transition and encourages social interaction.
- Circle Time (30 minutes): A group activity where children gather for songs, stories, discussions, and learning about the day's theme or topic. This develops language skills, listening skills, and a sense of community.
- Learning Centers/Work Time (1.5 hours): Children explore various learning centers or engage in individual or small group work.
- Outdoor Play (1 hour): Children enjoy active play.
- Snack Time (30 minutes): A break for a healthy snack, often with a focus on social skills and proper table manners.
Students are required to provide their lunch. Teachers will facilitate the lunch period, including distribution and serving. Parents are responsible for informing the school of any food-related allergies.
Parents are encouraged to be active participants in their child’s learning journey. They can volunteer in the classroom, participate in community events, and join parent-teacher meetings.
At present, before and after school care will not be available. However, additional options may be added depending on the needs of the community and available resources.
The school takes an inclusive approach to support all learners. Teachers are trained to recognize and address individual learning needs, and the curriculum materials are designed to be adaptable. We work closely with families to ensure each child's specific needs are met, whether through modified activities or additional support.
Communication is key at our preschool. Parents receive regular updates through informal conversations, written reports, and parent-teacher conferences. Teachers also provide insight into how the child is developing socially, emotionally, and academically, ensuring that parents are always informed about their child's progress.
