Our Curriculum for our Preschoolers

Primeros Pasos is a play-based program.  We believe that early childhood learning is an on-going process.  Our comprehensive curriculum nurtures the whole child and supports social, physical and cognitive development around a monthly theme of learning.  Your child will build foundational skills in early literacy, math, music, art, social studies and science – all via a fun, play-based approach. 

In addition, Primeros Pasos’ believes children thrive with outdoor time.  We foster hands-on exploration  through such means as yard play, the sand box, sensory bins, and cultivation of our vegetable plants in the backyard.

Our Program

Hands on Learning
Children will love learning as they create art, sing, dance, look at books and explore the world around them.  We present many creative and hands-on experiences for children to explore each day.  Throughout the process, they will ask questions, problem-solve and discover a joy for learning.
 
Evaluation
We believe learning is a process, and that children learn at their own rate.  Learning at this age should be fun, which fosters a lifelong love of learning.  Because each child is unique and learns at their own pace, our developmentally appropriate curriculum activities are open-ended and flexible so that children can participate at their level and positively contribute to the learning experience. 

Primeros Pasos assessment system documents each child’s individual learning process over time through natural and intentional observations.  Select projects are kept over the course of the school year in a project binder, which parents can review at any time to see first-hand their child’s learning process.  We review progress as needed with parents, and twice annually at family conferences.
