33 Playschool Supervisor: Laura Sowers Non-lottery program This class is a great first independent experience for your child! Playschool is designed to provide a warm, nurturing environment for children ages 2-3 years of age. This transition from home to school will emphasize the active development of your child's social, emotional, and cognitive skills. The caring, qualified teachers will focus on preschool preparedness such as: taking turns, following directions, listening, and sharing. Language development is supported through daily theme based activities that include ABC's, counting, story time, songs, games, and projects. Preschool 2, 3 or 4 day options available! Supervisor: Laura Sowers Non-lottery program; DCFS-Licensed Our Preschool program offers children an opportunity to participate in a variety of age appropriate activities as they develop socially, emotionally, and academically through PLAY. Classroom activities are planned to meet the varying needs of each child. Students will be introduced to letters and numbers as they explore different themes, shapes, colors, and concepts. Teachers focus on the development of each student: problem solving skills, ability to make real life connections, and peer relationships through everyday math, reading, social, and science discovery. Participants in preschool MUST be toilet-trained. Pre-Kindergarten Program Supervisor: Laura Sowers Non-lottery program; DCFS-Licensed Our Pre-Kindergarten program offers a developmentally appropriate, skill based class designed to meet the needs of children transitioning from preschool into kindergarten. Classroom activities are planned so that children can work independently, as well as in small and large groups. Curriculum materials focus on phonemic awareness, writing, math, and reading readiness while promoting independent thinking and problem solving skills. Our program goal is to provide academic opportunities that are critical in developing your child's foundation for future school success. To enhance our students learning for a bi-lingual future, this readiness program will introduce participants to basic colors, shapes, and numbers in Spanish as well as English.
