Children enrolled in the Half-Day Program will be provided with a nutritious breakfast before starting the preschool session. They will be provided with a healthy and nutritious snack during one of the transition periods of our preschool program.
Children will be involved in a variety of activities designed to enhance their learning - yet in a fun and creative way - using a hands-on approach. These activities will include preschool curricula such as arts and crafts, sensory and motor development skill building, math and science skill building, language and pre-literacy skill building, social and cognitive development skill building, and of course, the most basic learning tool - PLAY.

creative activities for children from 2-1/2 years to 4 years and

(Please Note: Activities and materials are provided, selected and available to children on an age appropriate and developmentally appropriate basis. Even though not listed, creative activities will be appropriately provided for infants and toddlers enrolled in the full-day program who are less than 2-1/2 years as well, though not included in the preschool program.)

Please note the subtle effect of the curricula: For instance, with respect to the different curricula noted above (i.e. Curriculum III), we continually introduce the preschoolers to basic academic areas but in an enthusiastic and non-pressuring manner, which will enhance their abilities with reading readiness, math, and science, as well as to further develop their social skills to better prepare them for kindergarten.
*Circle Time is a transition period as well as a time when children and teachers socialize about the community. We discuss issues and events such as about the people who live and work in a community. Also, the children socialize about who they live with. We utilize this time to read and discuss stories, or to perform puppet shows and discuss the show before transitioning to either Art and Crafts, Music and Movement, or any other Curricula.
**We perform potty checks throughout the day to remind potty trained toddlers and to assist the potty training toddlers in perfecting the routine. We also keep a potty schedule posted near the lavatory for parents' review of their child's potty sessions with both the time and date posted alongside each child's name. Toddlers who are in the potty training stage are required to wear pullups.
