TWO AND ONE HALF THROUGH THIRTY-SIX MONTHS
Our program is designed to provide a rich environment where children are encouraged to explore and are challenged to learn. Group activities and individual instruction help in developing self-confidence and encourage curiosity. The learning plans for our two-year-old preschoolers reflect themes and concept learning as part of the focus areas as well as Creative Art, Nature, Fine Motor, Physical Fitness and Songs. This age group focuses on the physical self as children gain control of self-help skills, combine ideas and learn more complex games. Our teachers provide plenty of individual attention to support every child's unique needs.
THREE-YEAR-OLDS
Children of America knows that these children are focused on cognitive development and increasing thinking abilities. The learning plans for our three-year-old preschoolers reflect these needs with a daily emphasis and introduction of Character Traits, Colors, Shapes, Concepts, Cooking, Creative Art, Language and Letters, Math, Music and Movement. Our "Old Town Colony" stimulates ideas, our physical fitness program promotes coordination, and our arts and crafts agenda allows children build a personal portfolio as a keepsake. Science, Sensory, Spanish and Tray Tasking are emphasized to further the educational experience.
PRE-K
The world is theirs to discover. Children of America's curriculum was developed to foster all aspects of the learning experience. Teachers introduce a more structured environment, while still incorporating plenty of time for self-directed play and exploration. Our daily learning plan is focused on the development of Social Competence, Character Trait Development, Musical Intelligence, Socio-Dramatic Development, Physical Fitness, and Emerging Literacy. We give children the opportunity to solve problems, investigate questions and create artistic masterpieces with programs such as Mathematical Thinking, Creative Expression and Critical Thinking Skills. To ensure that each child in our pre-k program has the skills necessary for elementary school, we also emphasize programs such as Foreign Language Acquisition, Reading and Writing Preparation, Building Short and Long Term Memory Skills and Scientific Thinking Skills. During the year our proprietary Pre-Kindergarten programs bridge all the selves: Physical, Emotional, Social, Cognitive and Creative.
