Click here to view the books we will use during 2008-2009. Lessons are presented in both large group (whole class) and small group (1-3 children) settings. The overall long-term goals for the year are to help the children feel confident in their abilities, to know they are loved and appreciated for who they are, to provide an emotionally and physically safe environment, and to enhance language and communication skills. Every month specific skills and objectives will be taught. These are learning standards in the areas of language arts and math that the children need to excel in kindergarten. |

Nutritious snacks and meals meet or exceed the USDA Nutritional Needs for Children. Click here for sample lunches and snacks. An involved parent makes a world of difference in a child's ability to learn. With work schedules and today's fast paced society, it isn't always easy to visit your child's classroom. Greatest Resource helps you be involved and aware of your child's activities while enrolled in the preschool program by sending the weekly lesson plans to your email the weekend before. You can use your in-car time to ask informed questions about the science activity your child participated in that morning, or to sing the songs your child will be learning. It helps you expand upon your child's learning at home as well. |
