Preschool Curriculum

Our objective for the three-year old is to develop social relationships within play groups and to expose the child to a positive learning environment. We assist each child in mastering expressive and receptive language skills that are necessary for the development of problem solving and critical thinking. Taught throughout the year are colors, shapes, nursery rhymes, games, songs, fairy tales and creative thinking. These are just a few of the fun learning experiences that we expose the children to. Memorizing poems is also a big part of this curriculum.

Four-Year-Olds

Our objective for the four-year-old is to prepare him/her for kindergarten. More time is spent discussing the world around us. Basic reading readiness, language development, fine motor development, and number concepts are a large part of this year's program. All of these prepare the child for the next step in his/her development. Our learning centers provide projects where, through positive reinforcement, the child can express his/her own creativity and independence. Our main emphasis is creating an exciting and educational experience for the children through their freedom of choice. We stress the importance of being socially ready for Kindergarten. Learning cannot take place unless the children are comfortable with their environment and surroundings. At Building Blocks our philosophy is to become social before we become smart! A large part of the morning is spent in "teacher directed" time; thus, the children learn by example and direction.
