WoodsEdge Children’s Center offers full-day preschool curriculum that nurtures child development in all four areas: emotional, cognitive, social, and physical. 

 

Our goal is to help preschoolers cultivate self-help skills through consistency and ensure every child has a solid foundation for pre-kindergarten and elementary school.

 

Encouraging Language & Literacy Development

 

During this stage of development, our preschool program focuses on basic letter recognition, reading readiness, and writing experiences. Teachers work on basic sight words in fun and interactive ways, and help to develop phonemic awareness through literacy-based activities.

 

Developing Social & Emotional Skills

 

Our preschool teachers focus on children’s social and emotional development and character building. We provide opportunities for children to work together, complete tasks, and analyze outcomes. Throughout the year, we also strive to nourish internal ownership of their success in all of the new skills they successfully develop.

 

Empowering Problem Solving & Creative Thinking

 

Activities include science and math corners, music and art, dramatic and creative play, puzzles, and an area where preschool students have daily access to tape, markers, scissors, and crayons.

Experimenting with Hands-On STEM Preschool Activities

 

This month, the preschoolers enjoyed a STEM activity called "The Melting Rainbow."  The children all got to experiment with this wonderful science/sensory activity. They were given Skittles to line the edge of their plate in a circle. Then they were assisted with slowly pouring water on the plate. Many were so curious on the "how" and "why" of the results that they kept on saying they were magicians.
