Preschool
Ages 3 – 4
The primary focus of this class is to introduce children to a school setting that is stress-free and fun, providing a safe and comfortable environment with organized play and discussion. In the M-F Preschool class at CCP, your child will be encouraged to participate in group activities, and explore their own interests while gaining self-confidence and independence.
Foundation
The foundation of our child-centered, play-based curriculum is guided by the implementation of THE CREATIVE CURRICULUM FOR PRESCHOOL ®, along with an engaging creative arts program, a multifaceted social and emotional curriculum where diversity is embraced and every child feels valued and cherished.
Social Emotional
Our staff’s implementation of the curriculum embraces the emotional world of children through kind, nurturing interactions enhanced by the Nurtured Heart Approach ™ and Conscious Discipline ® methodologies helping each child develop a positive sense of self as an active learner. These positive emotional memories of early learning – last a lifetime.
Topics
A rich array of weekly topics of interest (generated by the current students’ interests) are offered in an age appropriate manner and incorporated into the play-based curriculum. The culminating event of the year is the ABC party where letters of the alphabet come alive!
