Curriculum Overview for 2 year old - Pre-K programs
St. John's Preschool is a state-licensed preschool meeting all standards for children's health, safety and well-being. The primary purpose of St. John's Preschool is to operate as a school for young children.
We believe play is the major vehicle through which children integrate knowledge, feelings and skills. Therefore, we believe play is an integral part of our schedule, which reflects a consistent structured day where developmentally appropriate practices are our standard. Our learning program provides young learners with access to manipulatives that encourage thinking and problem solving, allows for sharing of thoughts and ideas, as well as motivates learners to share their creativity, curiosity and talents with others. Our learning programs provide opportunities for learners to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally and spiritually. These programs present learners with activities that encourage dramatic play, creativity, experimentation, manipulation, cooperation and socialization. A typical preschool day consists of circle time, center time, small group time, music and movement, outdoor play, story time and snack time.
The Early Learning Foundations are the basis for our instructional approach at St. John's Preschool.
