Preschool

Preschool

Preschool students at Foundations Preschool are inventors, problem solvers, discoverers, and dreamers. Our educational program will have a positive effect on your child’s academic performance. Because preschoolers like to learn new information and have a desire to master new tasks, much of what your child will learn will be through self direct experience and play.

At Foundations Preschool we create an environment that allows for functional play experiences by including new materials in each of the classroom’s learning centers. Through the day your child will explore, learn, and play at: Art, Creative Exploration, Blocks, Dramatic Play, Library, Music, Sand & Water, Science & Discovery, and Table Activities.

Educational Centers

Our various play and learning materials are arranged into clear and distinct centers. Below are a few examples of what each of these important centers offers developmentally for your preschooler:

Block & Building Design
Architecture, self-direction, vocabulary, independence, and cooperation.

Dramatic Play
Social skills, using thinking skills to resolve conflicts self-confidence, and respect.

Writing Exploration
Eye hand coordination, name recognition, and self-expression.

Library & Literature
Listening skills, word recognition, and oral language skills.

Math Activities
Classification, problem solving, and sequencing.

Science & Discovery
Experimentation, exploration, and prediction.

Sensory

Daily Communication

Daily communication to enhance your preschooler experience. This is available through parent boards, newsletters, and most importantly, the availability to speak to your child’s teachers at anytime.

As a parent, you will also have access to the ProCare Parent Engagement App, a best-in-class app where you’ll be able to see all of your child’s activities, milestones, photos and videos in one place. You’ll also be able to use the app to check your child in and out, providing a completely touch-free experience. Learn more about the App.

Assessment Reports

Progress assessment reports will be issued throughout the school year.

Preschool STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)

Activities to keep your child busy and teach them the basics of STEM they’ll need to succeed later in life.

Pre-Writing and Pre-Reading

Pre-writing and pre-reading activities that help children acquire basic notions that are essential for school; they help children develop their visual memory, their attention span, and the ability to identify objects (visual discrimination).

Preparation for Kindergarten Standards

Kindergarten readiness is an essential first step in your child’s academic life and forming relationships. We help them prepare for this with their first school experience where they get their introduction to learning and their first connections; experiences that may affect motivation and confidence for the rest of their academic career.

Foreign Language

Spanish lessons to increase your child’s vocabulary and introduce them to one of the many foreign languages out in the world.

Phonics

Zoo phonics is our kinesthetic phonics learning program. This is a fantastic kindergarten based program that uses all 5 of the children’s sense to promote learning the alphabet sounds.
