Pre-kindergarten Philosophy

At the heart of our prekindergarten philosophy is our Theme Study approach to curriculum. A theme study is an in-depth focus of a meaningful subject over several months. The creative arts, science and beginning reading and math skills are interwoven to help children make sense of the new concepts they are learning. Some successful theme studies in the past have included: "The Ocean"; "Things in the Sky"; "Our Homes" and "Food Ways". Parents and teachers work together to provide resources to bring our theme to "life" in the classroom.

What do we do with prekindergarten children all day?
We play group and board games; we write stories and then make our own books; we sing, dance and act out plays; we go on neighborhood walks; we offer encouragement and guidance; and we support their emerging literacy and math skills.
