Preschool begins with us meeting in front of the calendar corner for circle time. We choose our helper of the day, do some calendar activities, go over the weather, color of the day, and introduce the theme or activities planned for the day. Art is offered every day. Again, the children are encouraged to participate but not forced to. All lesson plans and activities are presented in such a way to encourage the children to manipulate and learn through hands-on participation and through play. We use Mother Goose Preschool curriculum. Mother Goose Time is a professionally designed preschool curriculum that nurtures the whole child and supports the child's social, emotional and intellectual growth.
