PRESCHOOL ENRICHMENT

 “The preschool experience prepares children for a lifetime of learning. In preschool children are introduced to concepts in a fun relaxed environment. Children see that learning is exciting and they want to learn more. Preschool children develop social skills needed to get along with others and become independent. Sharing, taking turns, problem solving, and language development are part of the daily routine. Preschool gives children a jump-start to kindergarten. They develop pre-reading skills, pre-math skills, science and social studies skills. Children develop an understanding of listening and following directions as a group. These behaviors are important for kindergarten readiness. Preschool is a time to play! Play is essential for all children's healthy growth and development”. Garima Gupta

The Preschool Enrichment class is designed to enhance any preschool experience. Each hour is filled with of crafts, stories, and FUN! The preschool classroom is separated into a variety of areas (table top activities, dramatic play, circle/story, computers, science, sensory and free play fun…to name a few!) and the day’s activities are designed to mimic a typical preschool school experience.

This class focuses on developing self help skills, increasing sustained attention, refining fine & gross motor skills, increasing social-emotional awareness and expanding communication skills. The classroom becomes like a second home to the children where they learn to explore, take pride in and experience responsibilities in their own environment. There are multiple transitions during the day, “circle-time”, “table-time” and “snack-time” are part of the regular schedule. Class responsibilities are assigned as children begin to engage in functional group activities, such as participating in obstacle courses, passing out cups at snack-time and beginning to dramatize and socialize with their peers. The teachers work closely with parents and caregivers to establish reasonable expectations for future school programs. They encourage parents to watch the intervention provided by the staff upstairs in the parent room (on the closed-circuit monitoring system) and to meet with staff daily after classes.

Each month’s curriculum focuses on enhancing cognitive processing, introducing basic math skills, encouraging creativity, writing letters and numbers, and following classroom rules and routines. Class time is very structured and encourages children to engage, socialize and participate in all interactive classroom activities. This is an inclusive classroom, where children with all developmental strengths and weaknesses are welcomed.

Pre-school Teachers are EDU-play trained and are committed to teaching all of the children based on their individual developmental profile. This is done in a small group setting (1:4 ratio). The maximum amount of children in a class is 12 at a time with 3 adult facilitators. (Typically there are no more than 8 children with 3 facilitators). This ratio allows for an ample amount of personal attention to be given to each child, while still enabling them to socialize and form vital relationships with their peers.

Classes meet from 8:00am-12:00pm Monday-Friday with an optional Lunch Bunch offered from 12:00pm-1:00pm.

In order to provide the best atmosphere and experience for all children, SBS enforces a strict drop off policy.  No child will be admitted after 8:30 AM.
