PRE-K DAYCARE PROGRAM
4-5 YEARS
In Pre-K, children continue to grow intellectually, physically, and emotionally as they cultivate self-care and social habits. Teachers work closely with the students and institute both team building techniques and private instruction using effective hands-on materials.
At this stage, our daily routine becomes a little more structured to start introducing our Pre-K aged children concepts that they will be required to know in Kindergarten.
ACTIVITIES AND LEARNING
At Big Adventures Learning Center, our Pre-K curriculum teaches critical lessons and sets the foundation for children to embark on their upcoming path through elementary school. Games, playtime, and activities will cover various materials in math, literacy, science, creative arts, and the alphabet (recognition & sounds).
In addition to the daily work in the classroom, students will also enjoy social time during lunch, free play, outside time, group projects, and exclusive school-related events. The program ensures the day is full of activities to stimulate the children and instill an organized, structured routine. This leads to students’ ability to follow a routine, anticipate events, and manage expectations.
MEALS AND SNACKS
Meals will be prepared and provided by the child's parent. Big Adventures Learning Center will provide daily snacks and a pizza lunch every Friday. Each child will be encouraged to eat what is prepared and to try new items as introduced. Please alert our staff of any food allergies or food restrictions as we want to accommodate and respect individual preferences.
TOILET TRAINING
Our children in our Pre-K program are expected to be fully toilet trained. Accidents do happen at this age and are expected. Please keep a change of clothes for your child at the school so that we can accomodate children who have accidents.
QUIET TIME/NAPS
We believe that children need a balance of activities that include large motor and active play as well as structured quiet time. Our program includes a quiet time for all children Kindergarten and younger. All children from 1 year of age through pre-K will receive a quiet time each day for a specified length of time. This will be established by their flexible schedule posted in that respective classroom.
