Curriculum
A “Curriculum Guide” that will help give more insight into your child’s week-to-week learning is posted in each classroom. In addition to the posted Curriculum Guides, a newsletter is generally sent out monthly.
Our curriculum is designed to address the developmental needs of children aged 3-5 years. Children are engaged in reading readiness and language development (e.g. letters of the week, phonemic awareness), gross motor skills (e.g. exercise and playground time), fine motor activities (e.g. using scissors, beading, sensory bins), social skills (e.g. circle time and “sharing” time to encourage children to speak in front of peers), emergent math skills (e.g. sorting, shapes, and games), music, dramatic play, cooking, science and nature, seasonal and holiday activities, and occasional field trips.
One of our biggest focuses at The Ross Preschool is on “21st Century Skills,” such as critical thinking and problem solving, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Preschool is one of the very best places to instill these important values that will help your child thrive at school and in their future.
