Academics: Preschool

Children between the ages of 3 and 5 may attend a full-day program five days a week.

The focus on the preschool curriculum is accelerating the development of auditory, speech and language skills. Early academics, fine motor, gross motor and personal/social skills are also developed.

Each child receives:

• Instruction based on individual education program goals and objectives
• Direct language and auditory instruction in groups of 2 to 3 children
• Individual speech therapy four or five times a week
• Circle time activities and center based play for the development of natural language and pragmatics
• Music, developmental play and special theme based learning activities
• Recreation, lunch and nap time

Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's program by:

• Monthly parent teacher conferences
• Communication notebooks and speech books sent home daily
• Weekly language targets and theme concepts to reinforce at home
• Invitations to attend special holiday events and activities with their child
• Monthly education seminars and parent support group meetings
