Environments
-
Effective, engaging interactions and environments are the foundation for all learning in early childhood classrooms. High-quality preschool classrooms include a well-organized and managed classroom where the culture, language, heritage, and experiences of children and families are valued and where social-emotional support is plentiful. Instructional interactions and materials are used stimulate children's thinking and skills.
-
We will use ongoing assessments to ensure children are meeting milestones and individual learning goals. Assessment information helps them monitor progress, both for individual children and for the program as a whole.
Lesson Plans
- Lesson Plans are intentional, culturally responsive, and support learning and development. Teachers design environments and opportunities for exploration, experiences, and routines throughout each day.
-
Gauge children's interests and progress to design whole group, small group, and individualized experiences.
-
Consider information families have shared that will help connect children's experiences at home and at school, and welcome families as co-educators with valuable input.
-
Individualization
-
Each child receives an individualize goal plan based on his/her strengths and needs. Children develop language and literacy, problem solving skills, and learn how to socialize and interact with others.
-
We provided children with the opportunity to participate in activities that support math, science, art, drama, language and culture. Children become excited about learning and confident in their own abilities.
