My Students

My 4 and 5-year-old students teach me every day. They are happy to discover things on their own with manipulatives, dramatic play, and self-correcting learning games and puzzles. Large and small group learning, large motor activities, sensory stations, and music are integrated into our daily schedule to help children learn.

We use hands on learning materials that promote learning through discovery.

Having materials that students can use to build and explore helps students build their understanding of the world around them. We provide opportunities for students to practice social emotional learning while using materials together to pretend about real life experiences.

Our program is located in a public school that has preschool through fifth-grade students. All of our preschool students are eligible for educational benefits because our program is income-based. We have a full-service staff who help families with a variety of things such as locating stable housing. All of our families have chosen to enroll their children in our full-day program so that they are ready for Kindergarten next year.

My Project

During independent learning time, students will learn about cause and effect, have sensory experiences that calm them and allow them to create, while working with others to practice preschool skills. Measuring, stacking, pouring, constructing, and planning are important parts of scientific learning that will be practiced while using our new materials.

During active learning time, we follow the lead of our students to guide our teaching.

We are able to authentically talk about numbers, cause and effect, interpersonal relationship skills, and do so in exciting child-centered ways. We look forward to providing fun new learning materials that support student growth.
