CREATIVE CURRICULUM
Pre-School Program: 2-3 year olds and Toddlers 18 months-24 months
The Preschool is for our two/three year olds. Junior Pre-Schoolers are busy, inquisitive, and happy to be on the move. Our Pre-school room has been designed specifically to promote learning experiences through play. The Creative curriculum for preschool, ages 2 & 3, is a thematic approach and was developed by the experienced staff at LCCDC. The Creative curriculum, approved by the MSDE. is presented in short intervals on the carpet and at tables to keep the children moving through engaging learning experiences. Circle Time with stories, songs and poetry will promote verbal skills and language acquisition. Spanish Language, math, social studies and science are part of the daily routine. Specials including art, music, exercise and Spanish are taught weekly by primary and specialized teachers. Respect, kindness and sharing are important principles that are modeled. Teacher-led games and free play help develop gross motor skills. The children ride tricycles, scooters, and skates daily to add to gross motor refinement. When each child is ready, our teachers will help with potty training by offering positive reinforcement and plenty of encouragement
