3's Preschool Our 3’s program is a literacy and social based program. We focus on one book each time and then do a craft to enhance the book experience. We also work on counting, and have a Bible story each week. In addition to time spent at learning centers, we focus on a new nursery rhyme each month, and do different activities for our color of the month. We have time for outside play to develop each child’s gross motor skills, in addition to working on their fine motor skills in the classroom. Field trips are also offered. 4’s Preschool Counting—work our way to 50 by the end of the year, also count from 10 down to 0. Weather—each student gets a turn to be the weather person; we also discuss the seasons. Singing—days of the week song, months of the year song with Spanish words, learning new songs and motions, help with rhythm. Zoo-Phonics—learn a new zoo-phonics friend each week, which helps to develop sound recognition for each letter. Bible Story—sing prayer song and learn a new story each day. Story Time—listening skills, pre-reading skills (predicting, left to right, author). Weekly Theme—concepts are learned each week that relate to the theme. Theme Enrichment—this supports the theme for
the week, we either go on a field trip, do experiments, play a game, or do an art project. Writing—writing all letters of the alphabet, numbers 0-10, their name, writing center. Art—fine and gross motor development, pre-writing and pre-math skills, creativity sorting/classifying, cutting skills. Discipline The atmosphere of the preschool classroom will promote love and respect for one another. Classroom rules are simple and specific; they are used to prevent a child from harming himself, others, and property. We attempt to encourage children to feel the desire within themselves to make a proper choice. Positive methods of discipline which encourage the child’s own self-control, self-direction, self-esteem, and cooperation will be emphasized. At times a child may be removed from the others for a quiet talk. There will never be corporal punishment in our preschool. If a problem persists, the teacher will arrange a conference with the child’s parents, and the principal will be notified. If no satisfactory solution can be reached, it will be necessary for the child to be dismissed from preschool.
Parent Helper: Although parental participation as a helper is very much encouraged, it is not a requirement for child admission. All parents are invited to help. If a parent’s schedule prevents him/her from helping, that parent should let the classroom teacher know. If a parent has signed up and an emergency arises, that parent is expected to telephone another parent in the class to substitute. The parent-helper should arrive ten minutes prior to the beginning of the session to talk over the day’s activities with the teacher. The parent should also use this time to become acquainted with the duties.
