History
1st class prep's program was established to provide an educationally social experience in a warm and loving environment for children 2 1/2 to 5 years of age. Recognizing the importance of balanced growth, our staff will provide an opportunity for social, mental, and physical development of the child. 1st class prep's program offers a defined curriculum for young children. Preschool can and should be more than a playtime experience. A carefully supervised and balanced program is offered to assist the children in their learning process. We make learning fun, teaching numbers, exploring the sounds of the alphabet (phonics), in English and Spanish. We use fingerpainting, cutting, dialing and other activities to teach fine motor skills in preparation for kindergarten readiness.
Specialties
Designed to provide children with a diverse, exciting, and stimulating environment where everyone feels relaxed and ready to learn and play. Class time and special activities are planned according to themes designed to meet the individual needs of children during this active time of growth and development. The curriculum encourages an enthusiastic and receptive attitude toward school, with an emphasis on Kindergarten. Activities which include letter and sound recognition, shape and number recognition, math, reading, and art, are centered around seasonal themes or a particular letter of the alphabet. The children also engage in outside and inside activity with the opportunity to be involved in small and large groups. Alternative dispute resolution is incorporated to arm the children tools to manage conflict.
