Monkeys (Early Preschool)
The Monkey classroom is full of fun and learning. Our goal is to foster a learning environment where children feel safe and loved where they learn to engage appropriately with their classmates and practice social skills, such as using kind words and helpful hands. According to Becky Bailey, PhD, “Self regulation is the key to school readiness and more powerful than IQ as a predictor of academic achievement.”
In the Monkey class teachers focus on the children's increasing communication and motor skills. Teachers tailor activities to work on language acquisition, self-help skills, and social and emotional skills. Each week, teachers provide a range of activity choices that give monkeys plenty of opportunities to express creativity, solve child-sized problems, and develop curiosity. Each child receives one-on-one attention in addition to participating in group activities ensuring individualized learning as well as social development.
Teachers maintain open communication with parents at drop off/pick-up time and provide a daily note giving the parent a report about their child's day.
