Our Preschool
We have 3 Preschool classrooms: Young Preschool (ages 2 - 3.5 years), Preschool (3.5 - 4.5 years) and PreK (4.5+.)
All three classrooms commingle in the Gross Motor Room if dropped off between 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. Children who are dropped off after 8:30 a.m. proceed directly to their classroom for free play time.
Like the gears on a watch, each of the classrooms' day proceeds smoothly through the same components at different times: classroom free play time, Gross Motor Room time, and yard time.
We serve morning snack at 9:15 a.m. and afternoon snack at 3:15 p.m. We provide simple nutritious snack foods and dairy milk. Children bring lunch from home daily, which is served at 12:15 p.m.
Nap time is from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Young Preschooler's diapers are changed regularly throughout the day as needed. Primeros Pasos staff will fully support parents' toilet learning efforts when they begin at home, we do not initiate potty training on our own.
Our staff logs meals, nap times and duration, and diaper changes (as applicable) on a daily basis for parents’ information.
Other Preschool activities include:
• Story and book time
• Music, instruments and dancing time
• Gross motor development, such as exercises, basketball, push and riding toys
• Cognitive motor development such as puzzles, tools, and blocks
• Fine motor development with art, scissors, and threading beads
• Dramatic play such as kitchen, house, and dress up
• Circle time to explore counting; sorting; alphabet; colors
• Daily "jobs" such as weather checker and line leader
• Daily circle time and project time around our monthly curricular theme
• Increasing pre-literacy and pre-mathematics activities as children are developmentally ready
