At A Quiet Forest Preschool, our Preschool Program, affectionately called Growing Oaks, prepares children for kindergarten and beyond by nurturing their natural curiosity, independence, and love for learning. Through a balanced mix of play-based learning and skill-building activities, your child will develop strong roots for future success.
๐ฟ A Curriculum That Inspires Growth
Our preschool curriculum focuses on fostering growth in key developmental areas:
- Literacy: Storytelling, letter recognition, and early phonics help children develop a strong foundation for reading.
- Math: Counting, sorting, patterns, and early problem-solving introduce basic math concepts in fun, engaging ways.
- Science & Nature: From planting seeds to exploring weather, our hands-on activities connect children with the wonders of the natural world.
- Creative Arts: Painting, crafting, music, and dramatic play encourage imagination, self-expression, and fine motor skills.
โEvery day is an adventure as children discover, create, and explore the world around them.โ
๐ฟ Social and Emotional Learning
We place a strong emphasis on helping children build relationships and navigate their emotions:
- Friendship & Cooperation: Group activities and problem-solving games teach children how to work together and care for one another.
- Self-Regulation: We help children recognize and express their feelings in healthy, constructive ways.
- Confidence-Building: Praise, encouragement, and opportunities to take leadership roles nurture self-esteem and independence.
โFrom sharing smiles to solving squabbles, we guide children in building meaningful friendships and emotional skills that last a lifetime.โ
๐ Preparing for Kindergarten
Our Preschool Program lays a strong foundation for kindergarten success. We focus on:
- Academic Readiness: Hands-on activities promote early reading, math, and science concepts in a joyful, play-based way.
- Classroom Skills: Taking turns, listening during group time, and following simple instructions prepare children for a structured school setting.
- Love for Learning: By making learning fun, we inspire curiosity, creativity, and a desire to explore the world.
โWe give children the tools to soar into kindergarten with confidence, excitement, and a love for discovery.โ
