Age: 3-4.5 years old
This room features 2 teachers caring for 16 children.
This is a very busy group brimming with curiosity. The children explore their interests through teacher-directed activities based on emergent curriculum. The children are also able to spontaneously explore their interests throughout the day while playing at a variety of centers or interacting with other children and teachers. Our teachers plan both indoor and outdoor activities based on the children’s expressed interests and diversity. Since we are so busy all day, having a rest after lunch is very important for our development.
Music program: Each week our music teacher, Dawn, comes in to teach us new songs and dances with the Preschool group. Music is a very important part of our development as it is linked with vocabulary expansion, number skills and gross motor skills.
A Typical Day At Brookview In The Preschool Program:
When the child enters in the morning, he is greeted by his teachers, and then he/she is given the freedom to explore the various learning activities and interest centers that have been prepared before his/her arrival: House Keeping/Dramatic Play Center, Library, Manipulatives, Crafts, Sand/Water Centre etc. The centres are always available and the materials in them are changed weekly basis depending on the interests of the group.
A teacher is always nearby to support when the child when needed. We are always available to answer any questions, offer a challenging statement, or make a suggestion in keeping with each child’s current level of achievement, interest, ability, and needs. The children are given time to grow, room to explore, experiment, to discover, to play and to be a child.
