Preschool (3-5 Years)
Our Preschool Program at Tara's Day Care is specifically designed to create a nurturing, fun, and educational environment for children aged 3 to 5 years. We are committed to fostering social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development through a well-rounded approach of structured activities, free play, and guided learning. Our program focuses on establishing a solid foundation for early childhood education while promoting curiosity, creativity, and independence.
Key Components of our Preschool Program include:
1. Early Literacy and Language Development: Children will engage in storytime, reading various books to develop vocabulary, comprehension, and a love for reading. They will also participate in phonemic awareness activities to strengthen literacy skills and enhance oral communication through storytelling and dramatic play.
2. Mathematical Thinking: Our program emphasizes number recognition, counting, and basic math concepts such as addition and subtraction through hands-on activities with real-world examples. Children will also explore shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships through games, puzzles, and art projects.
3. Creative Arts and Expression: Our program offers children the opportunity to explore various art mediums, including paint, markers, clay, and collage, to unleash their creativity.
Additionally, we provide music, dance, and rhythm activities to foster coordination, body awareness, and self-expression.
