Fun & Creativity

Art

Art allows your child to master those skills in a fun and creative way. Grasping crayons, chalk, pencils, markers, and paintbrushes help your child practice grasping, holding, and utilizing tools in much the same way they would while writing. 

Music

Combining music and movement helps preschoolers learn to control their bodies. They learn to move fast to fast music, and more slowly to slow tunes.  Patterns actually form the basis of literacy and numeracy.

Movement

Preschoolers generally enjoy being active, although different children prefer different activities. Play ideas for preschooler movement include play with balls, boxes and pegs, outdoor play, rough-and-tumble play, and nature play

Language

In their first few years, children develop many of the oral language skills that help them to learn to read when they go to school.

Mathematics

Mathematics during the preschool years should focus on number, geometry, measurement, algebra and patterns, and problem-solving.

Outside Play

Outdoor play is a great way to model the joy of physical activity. When children run, jump, climb, throw and kick balls, and ride toys that require balance, they also build gross motor skills and start developing a habit of being active.
