Creative Play Area - Activities centered in the creative play area foster both large muscle and social skills. Features of the creative play area include blocks, dress up clothes, a kitchen area, a fix-it table and a playhouse. Collage - Fine motor skills such a cutting, pasting, gluing, and sorting are reinforced in our collage area. Arts and Crafts - Children are encouraged to develop their artistic awareness and skills in a daily art project. In addition, the easel is available for artistic expression. Snack - Children follow graphic recipe cards to make individual snack portions in a child-sized kitchenette. Discovery Table - Daily activities at the Discovery Table challenge students to solve problems, classify objects and develop an awareness of basic scientific and mathematical principles. ABC and 123 Games - Children select ABC or 123 games. Playing these games encourages development of both verbal and mathematical skills. Writing Center - A variety of materials are available at our writing center to help young children tap their ability to use lines, shapes, and eventually symbols and letters to share their understanding of the world. Sand, Water or Playdough - Each day children flock to the area which features our sand table, water table or playdough, featured on a rotating basis. These areas give children an opportunity to develop gross and fine motor skills, and introduce them to concepts like mass, volume, gravity, and quantity. Large Muscle Skills - Children develop gross motor skills during movement activities in the gym. Outside skills are further developed as children enjoy the playhouse, sandbox and play equipment. The use of balls improves hand-eye coordination. Spanish - Children learn Spanish vocabulary from the preschool teacher through discussion, songs and finger-plays. Our preschool teacher has a minor in Spanish. Music - Music activities are presented each day. Songs, finger-plays and movement reinforce language development. Themes - Teachers plan thematic units throughout the year ranging from community helpers to learning about the farm. Stories, songs, crafts and snack are integrated around the theme so that the child has a holistic immersion experience in the topics being studied.
