Preschool
3 days: - Tuesday - Thursday
4 days: Monday - Thursday
9:00am to 12:00pm
Our 3 year old program is offered both three days (Tu - Th) and four days (M - Th) a week. This program seeks to introduce children to the preschool concepts that will lay the foundation for all future learning. While children are introduced to beginning literacy, mathematics and science concepts, the primary focus for our 3 year old is learning how to learn. We encourage large motor and fine motor development so children are ready for cutting and writing skills at the next level. Children learn how to handle classroom routines, how to share the teacher"s attention and begin to understand that they can play and learn cooperatively with their classmates. Our goal is to cultivate the expectation that learning is a fun and successful experience for each child.
Most children thrive in a stimulating, supportive preschool that recognizes each child's strengths, building on those strengths to reinforce the idea that school is a wonderful place to learn and grow. At Aldersgate, we understand the importance of age-appropriate learning activities. Our programs are designed to teach small children through play, by imitation, and by “doing.” That's why you will see lots of activity, many different creative materials, books, songs, games, and equipment at Aldersgate KinderPrep. Young children are invited to explore their world while being guided by a warm, loving teacher.
