PRESCHOOL
The daily adventures continue into preschool, and with them come the stepping-stones for a lifetime of learning with our Kids ‘R’ Kids Preschool Curriculum. Our goal is to help equip your child for the challenges ahead. Supporting each child during this time in her life helps to instill a sense of confidence and accomplishment while basking in her daily successes.
Preschoolers are continuing their learning adventure with a desire to do things on their own, and make new discoveries. That’s why we’ve catered our Preschool Program to fulfill the preschool mind.
Our Preschool Curriculum is divided into weekly, theme-based units. We introduce Value Words each week, working to strengthen and increase vocabularies and develop character. Group exercises, as well as individual skill practice, compliments your child’s developmental growth, and provides him with many opportunities to explore his personal interests.
Growing Minds, Growing Up
As children enter preschool, the Kids ‘R’ Kids Curriculum shifts to accommodate a more planned structure, preparing preschoolers for the academic schedules they’ll soon find in Kindergarten.
The Preschool Curriculum includes:
child-directed learning, so preschoolers are processing and self-regulating their own decisions
language, physical, and cognitive development to focus on learning curves needed for developmental milestones
activities and music to balance learning and fun
emotional and social development with peers and teachers
planned outdoor activities for physical fitness and development
daily enrichment activities to encourage imaginative and creative play
progress reports on child’s daily accomplishments
decision-making skills to support growing minds
Our Advanced Approach
Each day at Kids 'R' Kids, children spend their time exploring, learning, and accomplishing new skills. The value of "playtime" should not be underestimated in a preschool learning environment. Kids 'R' Kids, through decades of working with and observing children, understands that as children work and play in well-designed learning centers, they learn to make good choices because there is purpose in their play.
Your child learns critical developmental skills throughout each of our learning centers. Here are just a few examples of what each learning center offers your preschool child.
Block & Building Design - Architecture, vocabulary and cooperation
Dramatic Play - Social skills, self-confidence, and respect
Library & Literature - Listening skills, word recognition and oral language skills
Writing Exploration - Eye hand coordination, name recognition and self-expression
Math & Table Activities - Classification, problem solving and sequencing
Science & Discovery - Experimentation, exploration and prediction
Sensory - fine motor skills, measuring, and creativity
Music & Movement - Listening, teamwork and patterning
As Preschool children grow through our curriculum, Kids ‘R’ Kids keeps in mind the essential “Hug First, Then Teach” philosophy. Preschoolers need encouragement and praise as they learn to share, problem-solve, and respect their parents, teachers, and peers. That’s just another reason why a solid foundation, beginning with a loving environment, is essential for every child’s success.
