The Family's Role In Our Preschool Program

THE FAMILY’S ROLE IN THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

Families can support their preschooler by giving them opportunities to cook, pour their own drinks, clean up their own spills, put their own dishes away, and sort silverware. Providing these experiences helps children understand the impact that they have on the community around them and can make stronger connections between home and school.

The Teacher's Role In Our Preschool Program

THE TEACHER’S ROLE IN THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

Teachers will observe preschoolers interacting with the space around them, the materials, and other children to gain a deeper understanding about the children’s individual developmental needs. The teacher will use these observations to plan for the environment and experiences to support unique needs. Teachers will use what the children say or ask to help enhance the children’s knowledge of their personal interests.

The Family's Role in our Toddler Program

THE FAMILY'S ROLE IN OUR TODDLER PROGRAM

Families can support their toddler’s need for responsibility by asking the toddler to help pick up before leaving school or around the house, or by giving the toddler responsibility for placing napkins or utensils at the dinner table.
