Our preschool environment is designed to foster interaction among children and to promote learning through doing; in an active, prepared and safe setting. Opportunities for learning occur in individual, small, and large groups. Often, activities are arranged around themes such as colors, seasons, animals, etc. The schedule balances active play, exploration, and guided discovery with rest periods to: Support children in developing self-confidence, social competence and the enjoyment of learning Highlight the essential skills for early reading, writing, and mathematical thinking Recognize language is embedded in all developmental areas Provide hands-on active learning based on the child's interest and sense of emerging skills, integrated with the Massachusetts Curriculum Standards (http://www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html) Use critical thinking and problem-solving abilities to discover new ideas and abilities |
