Pre-School Program
Our pre-school program is designed to build successful learners, thus enabling them to live successful lives as adults. It is our goal in this program to help children develop the following skills:
Independence
Self-discipline
Knowledge of the human body
Self Esteem
Anti Bias learning to avoid stereotypes
It is also our goal to help each child with their growth and development in the following areas:
Creative expression
Language - written and spoken
Music and Movement
Reading Readiness
Science
Playtime is also very important aspect of the program, allowing the child to develop their self concept as well as their social and emotional growth. We know children are naturally inquisitive, creative and playful so our environment is structured to accommodate these attributes in your children. Teachers develop literacy in the children by continually exposing them to oral and written language, and by building on prior knowledge and experience.
Teachers will use a variety of fun, engaging strategies in the classroom to develop these skills. To help us succeed in our commitment, we ask for your cooperation and involvement with the following policies and procedures.
1. Make certain your child arrives at the Academy on time.
2. VPK students are required to attend 540 hours of classes during the school year.
3. Unless it is a designated "show and tell" day, please do not send in toys with your child
4. Field trips are an integral part of the child development, we encourage that your child attends them.
5. From time to time your child's teacher will send home a flyer or note outlining an upcoming special activity or an item that your child needs to bring with him/her to participate in a craft session - please read all materials sent home.
