Children develop skills and competencies through a sequence of milestones. However, they do not develop in exactly the same way or at exactly the same time. We focus on each child as a unique individual with his/her own strengths and areas of need. Our prekindergarten goals include the following:
The student will develop:
- Self-confidence and a positive attitude toward school through successful learning experiences.
- Increasing competence and skills to help him/her become more proficient in the English language.
- Emergent reading, writing, language and communication skills in preparation for kindergarten.
- Mathematical thinking and reasoning about such topics as number and operations, patterns, geometry, measurement, and problem solving.
- An understanding of the many diverse cultures and world around them.
- The ability to observe, explore, discover and solve problems through concrete learning experiences.
- An appreciation of the fine arts through many opportunities in creative drama, art and music.
- Fine and gross motor skills through appropriate physical activities.
