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.

Additional Information: MSDE-Approved Education Program.
