Full-Day Preschool Programs
Our full-day preschool programs are focused on fully preparing children for the transition to a kindergarten classroom, by promoting the learning of necessary skills, habits and abilities. Children benefit greatly from the sense of independence they gain as they learn, create, practice and play within the full-day program framework. They form and strengthen new capabilities through our balanced curriculum, growing academically, cognitively, physically and emotionally.
A full-day program provides children with ample time to explore creative learning and child-led play in-depth, while also bolstering their independence, social skills, sense of accomplishment and understanding of community.
The benefits of our full-day preschool programs include :
- Enhanced independence
- Additional hours of learning and play, allowing children more opportunities to practice learned skills
- Comprehensive lesson plans that cover everything from language, math, social studies and science concepts to art, music and movement
- A growing understanding of structure, time management and task completion concepts
- More opportunities to engage in creative learning activities
- More opportunities to engage in developmental dramatic play
- The formation of strong social skills as children spend more time communicating, working, sharing and playing with classmates
- Additional opportunities for group activities, individual learning and one-on-one instruction from teachers
- Opportunities to become accustomed to longer school hours, making the future transition to kindergarten more comfortable
Our full-day preschool programs provide children with the additional learning time needed to make major cognitive, physical and social gains. Children enrolled in our full-day programs are able to become comfortable in the classroom setting and are better prepared for the higher level of learning awaiting them in kindergarten.
