Our Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 programs focus on enhancing language ability, promoting social interaction, developing fine and gross motor skills, and laying the groundwork for basic concepts such as numbers, letters, and shapes. It is our goal to instill a love for learning and curiosity. This creates a solid foundation for a child's future academic success.
STREAM lessons focus mainly on curiosity and exploration. This includes experimenting with different kinds of building materials, engaging in arts and crafts, and investigating their environment.
Curiosity and exploration play a crucial role in the development of preschool-age children. At this stage, children are naturally curious and encouraging this curiosity has several important benefits. When children explore, ask questions, and seek answers, they are building essential problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Exploration also fosters social development as children learn to interact with others. It also encourages communication, cooperation, and the sharing of discoveries. Finally, curiosity lays the foundation to become lifelong learners. When children are encouraged to explore their interests, they develop a positive attitude towards acquiring new knowledge, setting the stage for success in formal education. Overall, fostering curiosity and providing opportunities for exploration in preschool-age children not only supports their intellectual growth but also nurtures their social and emotional development.
Examples of STREAM activities include making roads and ramps out of various kinds of blocks, constructing a bus out of a cardboard box and construction paper, and planting beans in the school garden.
