About the Provider

Description: The early childhood years are a time for inquiry, exploration, and discovery. Therefore, in the Pre-Kindergarten classroom, the students work and play in ways that foster connections to the world around them. At the same time, they learn to interact cooperatively with others, resolve conflicts, care for classroom materials, and make choices. These opportunities help children become more respectful, responsible and independent. Each individual student's interests are used as stepping stones to more learning, and the students are kept motivated by providing a variety of whole group, small group, and individual activities to foster social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth. To enhance their learning within the classroom, students also work with resource teachers as they participate in music, physical education, library and instruction time. Because the focus in the Pre-Kindergarten classroom is on the development of the whole child—and the teachers respect, value, and accept children with different learning styles and abilities.

2018-10-26 Mandatory Review 13A.16.03.03B(1) Corrected
Findings: When the staff in the preschool rooms were asked about keeping attendance and how they keep track of the children the answers were concerning to the Lic. Spec. A staff in the PreK 3 room said that they do it on the computer, however there were already 12 children in the classroom and the computer didn't even appear to have been used yet. The 2nd staff in the room reminded Lic Spec. that they have a laminated list of the children in the group and they use a marker to mark when a child is present or not. This list is pre-printed and a marker is wiped off each day and the list is re-used. This list had not been marked this morning. The staff in the PreK 4 room, when asked, the procedure for keeping track of children, first stated that she knows who is present because the children move their journals when the arrive. The staff have each child's journal on the table in the mornings and the journals have the child's name clearly marked on them. However, as 1 child arrived he didn't move his journal and the staff, didn't know him. The same staff also explained that they also use the pre-printed laminated list. The list was present but used. Please develop a better procedure and forward.
