Creative Castle Preschool and Playtime

Creative Castle Preschool and Kindergarten strives to meet the individual needs and assist the development of children in all domains: intellectual, social, emotional and physical. We utilize the whole child and developmental approach. Research has shown that childhood has separate and distinct stages. The developmental approach means teaching in ways that match the way children develop and learn. Their growth is divided into four developmental domains: Intellectual / Cognitive growth – centers on the mind and how the mind works as children develop and learn. Social growth – centers on the development of skills for interacting with others. Emotional growth – refers to the development of self-esteem and self-control. Physical growth – has to do with development of the body and its parts.

Preschool children are learning math, science, social studies, reading (language), music and art. When children are building with blocks, they are learning math concepts, such as counting. They are learning science as they explore gravity and balance. They are learning social skills and language skills as they cooperate and communicate with one another in joint effort to build towers, castles and train tracks. Skills and concepts are being learned and taught simultaneously. Our master teachers are fully aware of what is being learned and how it is being taught during classroom activities.

According to NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), the developmental approach provides children with opportunities to learn and practice newly acquired skills.
