Aldersgate Preschool and Discovery Day programs follow a
curriculum designed to meet the needs, interests and
developmental levels of children. We endeavor to foster each
child's growth in the following skill areas:
Social/Emotional Growth
is nurtured through
activities and expectations that promote the development of a
positive self-image and increased self discipline and social
skills required for positive interaction with peers and
adults.
Spiritual Growth is enhanced through witnessing
adults conducting themselves in a compassionate, loving and
generous manner with every child, parent and co-worker.
Children will be introduced to general Christian concepts
through prayer, story and song.
Language Growth is developed through various
opportunities for children to have fun with language and to
practice verbal skills. Children are encouraged to participate
in stories, songs, finger plays, personal interactions and
drama.
Physical Growth is encouraged through activities
which promote both large and fine motor coordination. The
facility is designed to provide ample space for freedom of
movement and the curriculum provides a balance of periods for
both quiet and active play.
Cognitive Growth is stimulated by an environment
rich in materials that are developmentally appropriate and
stimulating. Activities and various centers are developed in
order to promote curiosity and creativity according to the
individual abilities and readiness of each child.
Self Help/School Readiness Growth is encouraged in
order that each child will become more independent and develop
skills that facilitate a positive school experience both at
Aldersgate Preschool Plus and in future educational
settings. |
