Chickadees Preschool
The Chick-a-dees class is a specialized class with a very low student-teacher ratio. This class is designed to give three year old children an excellent first school experience. (We also consider mature 2.5 year old students for this class.) The curriculum focuses on individual and small group learning experiences with socialization, motor skills and language development as key learning objectives.
The children will have daily opportunities to explore, create, and discover as they participate in many multisensory activities encouraging the children to learn by doing.
Children at this age are fascinated with literature, books and stories. Using literature as a foundation for learning, children are introduced to reading and other cognitive skills through their love of books. It is a wonderful and natural way to learn, while at the same time developing in them, a love of literature.
Children should be familiar with and working on toileting skills, but they do not need to be fully potty trained.
As with all of our classes, we encourage parents to be involved in their child’s educational experience. Parents are always welcome in the classroom and have many opportunities to volunteer on a regular basis or for special events.
The preschool day begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 12:00 p.m.
