Preschool at the Little Star Day SchoolThe learning environment for preschoolers is based on the Early Years Curriculum EYC ® . Well-planned learning centres are at the core of our curriculum, that allow each child the choice and self-directed play, small groups, and supportive teaching that prepares the child for academic excellence. The development of language, mathematical reasoning, and scientific thought is emphasized throughout all the centres. Changes to the learning environment, activities, and projects reflect emerging interests and individual goals. Learning centres offer guided experiences that encompass all the skills and understandings necessary for optimum development and success in school. Basic learning centres at Little Star Day School include a library, building and construction, role play, arts and crafts, math, language, music, science, outdoor and movement. Throughout the day, children make self-directed and guided choices, participate in small groups and projects, meet the whole group at circle-time, and document and reflect upon their learning experiences. Children are guided to critical learning experiences that form the building blocks of a healthy development. Using the Early Years Curriculum EYC ® and knowledge of the children and families as a framework, teachers use their talent and expertise to design, adapt, and invent learning centres that best serve the children in the room. Another completing part of the day in preschool are activities like gym, dance, swimming lessons and early education in music and rhythm. Choose the centre most convenitent for you: |
