Preschool
Our preschool program is for children at 2.9 years of age through 4 years. Our classrooms are designed to allow children to explore and promote learning through hands on experiences in a nurturing, educational, and happy environment.
We use a strong literacy-based curriculum that incorporates each area of academics daily. Our teachers plan and teach for each different learning style. At Basic Beginnings, we respect that each child is unique and strive to foster a positive attitude toward learning. Teachers promote learning and development through activities related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math), History, Language Arts, Phonics, and more while meeting each child’s individual needs.
Our program offers a well-balanced day filled with art, computers, cooking, music & movement, basic introduction to a foreign language, library time, and a sports program. The children attend off-site field trips related to the curriculum as well as on-site field trips from Curious Creatures, children’s museums, and others. Our outdoor playground encourages large gross motor challenges while our garden area teaches children how to cultivate vegetables and flowers. While indoors, classroom pets and plants teach children to responsibly care for living things.
In addition to teaching our curriculum, we also teach children the self-help skills that are needed to be successful. The teachers take advantage of these teachable moments through interactive learning experiences that are often missed. We promote the experience of the process rather than the final product, this is especially true during art.
