Welcome to Creative Play School

Children meet in small groups two mornings a week with qualified teachers and aides.  We offer an optional four-morning pre-K program for 4 year olds who will be attending Kindergarten the following year.  All classes meet from 9:00am to 12:00 noon. 

 The curriculum is planned around themes that encourage social interaction and a play-based introduction to kindergarten readiness skills.  Teachers share monthly newsletters with parents to inform them about classroom themes and activities.  Their lessons plans are made in advance and submitted to the director.  Parent/Teacher conferences are held in February.

What do we Learn?
We know children learn best when given the freedom to play and discover in a safe and interesting environment.  We offer a variety of creative opportunities that are developmentally appropriate where they can learn new concepts, accomplish interesting tasks and practice problem solving and relational interaction. Children are also introduced to the following readiness skills:

• Color and shape recognition
• Name identification
• Counting and grouping
• Pre-reading and pre-math skills
• Poetry, stories and language skills

Older classes will be introduced to:

• Letter and number identification
• Phonetic sounds and word recognition
• Beginning math concepts
• Writing and fine motor development skills

Children also participate in these regular activities:
