Overall Goals:
These early years are a unique time in children’s lives. Young children are discovering a world that is filled with wonder and excitement. The 2 to 3 year old stage of life is very unique. A child is growing and learning to be a more independent preschooler. Our program will prepare your child with life skills by offering a variety of learning centers. The centers will challenge the total child: physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively. Chabad Early Learning Center recognizes that every child has unique learning styles styles and play interests. With this in mind, we provide a differentiated curriculum that is adapted for each child. For example, if a child expresses an interest in art, we will provide the opportunities and encourage the child to draw, paint and print. We follow an integrated curriculum, a seamless weave, combining thematic units with language, art, drama, music, math, science and Jewish holidays.
Children will be able to test their own skills by engaging in both child initiated and teacher directed activities. Independence skills and self-esteem are key factors in success at this stage. The activities presented lay the foundation for future learning. |
Science, Dramatic Play and Creative Arts |
Children have the opportunity to work individually and in a group to promote socialization.
|
Math and Manipulatives |
Most concepts are learned as children go about their day engaged in developmentally appropriate play. As children begin a project they are encouraged to provide closure as well, whichinstills the pre-math concept of completion. During clean up, children are able to sort and classify as they put away materials in their assigned areas. During water play and sand play, children are exposed to weights and measurements. As children build in the block area they are exposed to spatial relationships and gravity.

Language Arts and Reading |
Your child will be exposed to a variety of language experiences. A print rich environment will enhance their curiosity and excitement of language.
