Description: Children must be age 3 prior to the start of the school year. CALL TO INQUIRE about current openings. Parents request AM or PM session. The Hartford School District Pre-Kindergarten programs provide early childhood programming that fosters social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language development through enriching experiences and positive relationships. We provide a safe, secure, and nurturing environment. Because young children learn best through play, they are provided with opportunities for play in a learning environment. Our programs are play-based and hands on. Our classrooms provide centers for choice, exploration and social interactions with peers. Our programs are both child-directed and teacher-directed. Throughout the school year, specific skills are incorporated into the curriculum/theme units. We focus on early literacy and language, colors, shapes, patterns, five senses. We also focus on problem solving strategies and conflict resolution. We utilize the Vermont Early Learning Standards (VELS)to guide our curriculum outcomes. Our activities include: arts & crafts, circle time, daily outside play, dramatic play, regular daily routine, sand and water play, songs or music activities, story time and literacy activities.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
