Programs 3 Year Old Program 4 Year Old Program Flexibility is a necessity when working with a group of young children, however, students must be able to depend on a general routine where they know what to expect and what is expected of them. With this in mind, here is an outline of a typical preschool day: -Welcome - Before entering the classroom, the students will hang up their things and change shoes. They will be greeted by the teacher and move directly to the circle area. Snacks are brought in and put into cubbies inside of classroom A, and left in their backpacks for classroom B. Children are not allowed to leave the classroom without adult supervision. Please provide a pair of indoor shoes to be left at the school throughout the school year. -Circle Time - Calendar activities, games, stories, songs and discussions promote development in language, number skills and social interactions. -Free Play - Children are free to circulate among the choice of toys and activities set out for them. They are encouraged and guided in cooperative play throughout this time. Art is an integral part of an early childhood program and a specific art project will be offered each day. You will find that most of the art projects are very open-ended. Students will be given a variety of materials, and instruction on how to use those materials appropriately, but there will be very little emphasis on the finished product. Students will be encouraged to experiment with the materials to develop their own processes and determine their own products. -Shared Singing Time - A variety of fun and interactive songs and finger plays help to develop language skills and enhance group dynamics. -Nut Free Snack - Preschool is an active, busy time and small children can use up a lot of energy. Please ensure that your child has a nutritious snack each day, to help him or her stay active and happy. This is also an important social time where quiet conversation and polite table manners are encouraged. When finished eating, each child is expected to tidy up, put away his or her snack container and read at the story corner. There is a “no-nut” policy at Bearspaw Preschool. A suitable snack should include one serving from each of two food groups as well as 100% fruit juice. We strongly encourage the students to bring re-usable drink containers. -Gym or Outdoor Play Time- Physical activity in the gym is a fun and busy time! There will be a combination of instructional time and free play with the equipment provided. -Dismissal - Children will gather to share songs and say Goodbye. The children will stay with the teacher until an adult arrives. Please contact us , or leave a note, if your child will be absent or if a different person will be picking her or him up after class. Toys from home will not be allowed at preschool but will be left in the coat area. The exception to this rule is if a child has a security item that he or she would like to hold onto during class time. Please let the teacher know if this is the case for your child. Newsletters will be sent via email periodically throughout the school year. This will inform parents of special events, as well as provide some insight into the day to day functioning of the class. From time to time, there will be special events that parents will be invited to attend. As much notice as possible will be given for these events so that you can make plans to attend. If you are unable to make it, please consider asking another family member to spend this special time with your child. Siblings will also be welcomed on these days. It is very natural for some young children to feel apprehensive about new situations, especially when they realize that their parents will not be there. Please be assured that your child will be treated with gentleness and respect, and given the time that he or she needs to adjust to preschool. Parents are encouraged to stay at preschool until they are comfortable with leaving. Remain cheerful and positive about school, and trust that your child will be able to handle this challenge. If your child is unsure about staying, it may be helpful to make a plan, such as
