Wee The People Preschool And Child Care

Here at Wee The People we believe the first years are forever. We also feel we can make a difference in the lifes of children and we are respondsible for the "whole" child. Our curriculum includes experiences with real works of art and classical music. Wee The people uses a uniquely designed curriculum that is appproved by the Seminole County Early Learning Coalition. Creative curriculum provides a developmentally appropriate program that is challenging, stimulationg and meets the need of infants through school aged children.

Additionally, our school uses two other curriculums: Healthy Habits and Sparkle and Shine, which is a character development tool. Interesting themes, combined with learning objectives called key experiences, help our teachers plan learning experiences in art, music, language, fine and gross motor, emergent math and literacy, movement and drama. Our curriculum has a strong literature component. We believe that children become readers by being read to and that children become writers by having many opportunities to express their thoughts and feeling through print.

Creative curriculum is also based on the premise that children learn through active learning-direct interaction with materials and interaction with adults who facilitate children’s learning. Manipulatives, puzzles, games and art materials stimulate “hands-on” learning and concrete learning experiences. We also know that children do not learn skills in isolation. Shapes, colors, numbers, letters and phonemic awareness are woven in throughout each and everyday to give children a strong foundation. When we learn colors, we learn fuchsia and vermillion, children love different and interesting words. When we learn shapes, we go past the circle and square and look for octagons, hexagons and pentagons within the school environment. We are always looking for fun and interesting ways to stimulate children’s learning.

At Wee The People, we feel we can make a difference in the lives of children and their teachers, and that we are responsible for the “whole” child. Our curriculum includes experiences with real works of art and classical music. A character building focus rounds out each monthly plan. Our children are never too young to learn about honesty, patience or friendship. Brain power activates are also incorporated within the daily routine to help all our children make those brain building Connections. Activities that challenge and activities that strengthen are designed to individualize our program so that all our children can grow and develop at their own unique learning rates.
