Our Preschoolers make new friends, investigate, discover, interact, and create. Their day is filled with learning by playing: singing songs, moving to music, role modeling, creating artwork, and using all of their senses to learn about the world. On the Schools seven- acre campus with their own playground, they have ample space to enjoy the fresh air as well as learn about the wonders of nature on guided walks. Our Preschool curriculum is developmentally appropriate to provide the optimum foundation for the academic learning that begins in Kindergarten. Built on a thematic approach, topics include literature, health, science, animals, and the community. Each week the preschoolers even participate in physical education, Spanish, and music classes.
Preschoolers and Kindergartners occupy the Early Childhood Center building. Here they acquire the readiness skills for Primary School and beyond. For the Preschool Threes, the program in language arts includes both receptive and expressive skills. In math they classify, sort, measure, compare, recognize patterns, and begin one-to-one correspondence counting. The development of small and large motor coordination is enhanced through a variety of activities daily.
Our philosophy The Banner School Learning Triangle Parent, Teacher, and Child begins with the Preschool experience.
