CURRICULUM – TWO’S & 3’S – PRESCHOOL – SCHOOL AGE

Two's and Three's

Your child is now showing a strong desire to do things independently. He helps dress himself, feed himself, and wants to help you at home. He is becoming more social and enjoys playing with other children. His educator understands his emerging independence and offers both small group and individual activities to foster his skills in all areas of growth and development - language and literacy, intellectual, physical and social/emotional.


Your child will enjoy reading books, working on puzzles, and building structures with blocks. He will explore textures and learn math concepts. Home Center provides him the opportunity for pretend play, to practice language skills, and to understand his feelings and those of others.


We also introduce a theme-based curriculum. This program promotes age appropriate activities that stimulate language, creative movement, music and self-help skills. At the end of each week, parents are encouraged to pick up their child's "activity bag". Within the bag, you can see your child's work during the week. As they approach the higher end of this age bracket, the work will start to focus on writing skills.

Preschoolers

Every child learns and develops his or her skills through meaningful experiences. The FrogStreet curriculum is used to accelerate each child's development. Children go through a process of learning and strengthening their basic skills in several specific areas. They engage in fun activities that help to strengthen their finger muscles in order to begin writing. They are taught to write their first and last names. Children also learn to recognize the letter sounds in preparation to learn how to blend these into words. As they progress in these recognition skills, they learn to recognize short and long vowel sounds and are encouraged to begin reading simple books.


Children learn their numbers using objects and learn to distinguish between objects by size and shape. In Science, students develop their understanding of the world through focused natural activities such as growing plants and studying insects. Children are exposed to Spanish through upbeat songs, general greetings and names of common objects.


Emphasis is placed on developing confidence through opportunities to speak or perform in front of an audience. Good manners and habits are also promoted on a daily basis.

School Age Program

During the school year, we offer afternoon pick-up from several schools. In the afternoons, we pick up at the following: East Terrell Hills, Walzem, Windcrest,  and Wilshire Elementary schools.


During the school year, once the children are picked up in the afternoons, they are given a nutritious snack, and then time to do their homework. After their homework is complete, they have several activities that will keep them busy until the end of the day.


During the summertime, as well as other extended vacations, we offer activity camps for the children. We send them on 2-3 field trips per week and have activities planned for the other days of the week.


There is something for everyone at Learning Tree Center. Call us to plan a visit and tour.
