My Students
A child's experience in preschool sets the foundation for their educational journey! They are energetic learners, with a love for exploring and laughter.
We teach an Early Childhood Developmentally Delayed Preschool Program.
Our students are 3 to 5 years old, who are experiencing delays in the areas of language, social, motor, or at-risk due to a medical condition.
We work as a team with our families and community to ensure the best learning environment possible.
"Play is the work of Childhood".
My Project
Children synthesize knowledge and skills through play.
Because learning and child development doesn’t happen in discrete pockets of time or during isolated activities, children need opportunities to blend their skills and knowledge together.
Pretend play is an ideal way to do this. Think of children playing ‘grocery’ store. They sort by attributes as they group similar foods in sections of the store, use math concepts to tabulate amounts as they determine prices and calculate grocery bills, use writing to communicate by making signs, experiment with shapes and weights as they organize the store, work collaboratively as they assign roles and play together, and much more.
