Pre-School

Growth Through Play And Discovery

It won’t take very long before your child is walking into him preschool classroom like he owns the place! In fact, most preschoolers enter the classroom and go straight to their favorite Learning Center activity from the previous day. Morning Circle Time

Once all the children have arrived, our day begins with Morning Cir cle Time. Here, your preschooler will sing songs, help the teacher determine today’s weather, participate in a charting activity entitled “I Spy,” determine their daily schedule and talk about what Center activities and journal topics are available for the day.

Each Circle Time has a daily discussion topic. For example during the unit “Art Adventures,” the teacher may bring in different kinds of colorful fruit and show the children how to make paint from the fruit. The class could discuss how, long ago, artists created paint from fruits or plants.

Preschoolers learn math and language skills during Morning Circle Time, but just as important, they improve their ability to concentrate on a larger group activity for more than a few minutes, participate in changing daily discussions and experiment with different language and body movements to communicate with their teacher and peers.
