The Center’s philosophy has always been to provide a setting for pre-school age children that foster learning and acceptable social behavior in a loving and caring environment. Our teachers are carefully selected for their ability to relate to children in a positive way. We believe that learning can be fun and practice this at Precious People Learning Center through activities that utilize music, arts & crafts, self expression and creative free play.
The Center uses a spiral curriculum that is derived from a monthly theme that incorporates the number, color, shape and letter and carried out throughout the various age groups at their appropriate level. This provides consistency and uniformity for the children. Our curriculum will include four elements monthly, bi-weekly, and weekly depending on age group. The elements are defined as a number, color, shape, and letter introduced into circle time twice daily. Our circle time consists of the four elements, literacy, at least two finger plays, at least two flannel board stories and our monthly theme unit. Spanish is integrated daily into our curriculum.
Included in the cost, and as part of the curriculum, we offer Spanish to our children on a daily basis. The program is designed to run over a 12 month period and is included in our daily lesson plans and circle time format. Our words of the month are posted on your child's classroom bulletin board to keep you up to date
Sign language for your child is also included in our program. Twelve carefully selected words, which correlate with our curriculum and monthly theme, are taught daily in our classrooms and at circle time.
Our school encourages and develops Character Education daily into our lesson planning format to encourage positive character attributes. Appropriate behavior achieves high standards in our school, and encourages our students to be good citizens; even into adulthood.
A monthly newsletter and a class calendar let parents know what their child is working on and special events coming up within the school. Two weekly reports describing your child’s activities, feelings and projects for the day will be handed out during the week. Spanish is included as part of the daily curriculum.
Parent and teacher conferences will be held on President’s Day between the hours of 8:00am through 12:00pm and will give you that one on one opportunity with your child’s teacher, to discuss your child’s progress in the classroom including social and academic behavior.
One report card will be issued and delivered in September and another report card approx one week before Presidents Day, to assess your child’s benchmarks and milestones which include their academic and social ability. Precious People Learning Center believes that an important part of child care is communication. We strive to keep the parents informed of their child’s progress and problems and we encourage parents in turn to talk to us about their concerns or satisfactions.
Our open door policy lets parents become part of the school setting. We aim to be responsive to the individual needs of each child and family and we believe that you and your child will be happy at Precious People Learning Center. |
