EARLY LEARNERS (30 — 36 MONTHS)

LEARNING ABOUT THE WORLD.

  • Motor Skills Development — outdoor games, dancing, movement
  • Language Development — recognizing and forming letters, story time, speech
  • Sensory Development — textures, understanding the senses, descriptive activities
  • Imaginative Development — arts and crafts, dramatic play, storytelling
  • Social Development — large and small group activities, sharing, politeness

At this age, children are inventors, problem solvers, discoverers and dreamers. They learn about the world around them as they take things apart, put them together and ask lots and lots of questions. We give them the guidance and the tools they need to explore and learn within a comfortable, secure environment.

The Empowered Child™ curriculum was designed around the belief that all children are capable and talented, and that they learn in their own ways. So we help them discover and develop their own talents. For more information regarding our Early Learners Room, take our Virtual Tour.

A CHILD’S DAY.

8:15 Your daughter runs to the Pretend Center and “makes breakfast.”
9:15 Group time. The class gets a preview of the day to come — sounds like fun!
9:40 Sliding and skipping outside burns off a little excess energy.
10:15 Time for a snack. Fruit, cheese and crackers make a great combination.
10:30 During a “Five Senses Fairy Tale,” your daughter tells what senses the Three Bears used to discover Goldilocks.
11:00 They try to describe objects hidden in a box, using their sense of touch.
11:45 Time for lunch! A nutritious meal is served family-style.
12:15 Quiet, please. It’s time for some rest.
2:30 There’s so much more to do! But first, some milk and cookies.
2:45 The children make up a play and, to play the princess, your daughter creates a crown from foil and ribbon.
3:15 The play is a huge success — they want to videotape it next time!
3:45 A one and a two — the kids make up new dance steps to “Hokey Pokey.”
4:30 Time to talk about what they’ve done and learned today — a lot!
5:45 You arrive to take your princess home, still wearing her tin-foil crown.
