It is a widely accepted fact that early childhood is a crucial time for children's cognitive development. During this period, a child’s brain develops faster than at any other point in their life. More recently, it is becoming understood that very young children are ready - and eager - to develop skills and understanding in language, literacy, mathematics, and science. Preschool learning experiences in these domains can help children build a foundation that will prepare them for future academic success.
Using the following programs, we will teach to the whole child, addressing their cognitive, social, and emotional needs. Each of these programs was developed for preschool age students and can be taught through play, which is the most important part of preschool!
Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive classroom management program and a social-emotional curriculum.
