Early Learner Program Goals

• Welcome our youngest learners in a rich-environment that awakens a life-long, love of learning

• Help learners connect powerfully to a social environment that helps develop communication and character

• Introduce play-based exploration that focuses on learning through experience

• Familiarize students with structured routines that encourage maturity and independence

• Assure learner readiness by focusing on core skills

• Our intention is to provide a two-year program. We encourage children to start the Tuesday/Thursday program, then the following year attend our Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Pre-K program to help students succeed in kindergarten.

Early Learner class introduces learning in fun and exciting way. St. Louis Preschool uses many materials and medias to make learning as hands-on and engaging as possible. For Early Learners, fine motor skills and learning basic skills and knowledge such as colors, shapes, and letters in their name, are ways to help them prepare for Pre-K. St. Louis Preschool promotes independence by having the children be responsible for their folders, backpacks, using the restroom independently, and completing activities individual and within groups. We focus on working together as a team and positive conflict resolution strategies.
