What is St. Germaine Preschool All About?
Our program strives to develop a child’s independence and is aimed at encouraging children’s creative abilities. Through the use of carefully planned projects and activities we strive to develop listening skills, lengthen attention spans and foster social development. We use a variety of themes to help ‘spark’ the interest of all children and to keep learning fun. Some of the “special days” we celebrate are: Sesame Street Week, Color Days, Halloween and Christmas programs, Pow-Wow presentation, Valentine Party, Pajama Day, International Week and Meal, Safety Week, Nursery Rhyme week, Dental Health Day, Beach Day and End of the Year Celebration and Graduation….just to name a few. Cooking experiences are offered once a month. Children and parents attend the Apple Orchard in September and the farm in May. Projects in school prepare children for these fun field trips.
Daily sessions include projects, free play, and activities that develop large and small motor skills. Projects are intended to help develop readiness skills in a variety of ways. Activities are changed daily to keep children’s interest and give them choices. Snack is served to the children daily. Add to that…. prayer, music, and literacy development and each day has been filled with lots to do.
Daily sessions are: 4 yr. olds - Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:00-11:00am *1/2 day option
3 yr. olds - Tuesday, Thursday 8:00-10:30am *1/2 day option
**School age child care is also offered!
Dramatic play is encouraged in the housekeeping area and through the use of puppets and dress-up clothes. Blocks, trucks, water and sand tables are some of the children’s favorite activities. Science, math, social studies, language skills, story time or games may also be offered.
Daily prayer is used at the beginning of each class and before snack. Discussions of “Jesus” take place as situations occur. We continually discuss the importance of getting along with one another and sharing as Jesus would want us to. Weekly newsletters are sent home to parents that correspond with the readings at church. Lessons in these newsletters are also discussed in the classroom.
Our program is designed to prepare children academically for Kindergarten. Projects develop skills needed for pre-reading and pre-math development. Communication between teachers and parents allow us to track children’s progress and set expectations.
Your child will be given the opportunity to use a variety of materials, to express himself/herself with them, and to work and share with others.
It is our goal to enable a child to become well-rounded physically, emotionally and spiritually. We will encourage a child to become independent by exposing them to a variety of activities.
