| Welcome to the Home
Preschool Curriculum. You and your child will enjoy the activities
and learning experiences. The ideas are simple and easy to follow. At
the top of each monthly calendar you will find; a shape, color, nursery
rhyme, song, and book to focus on each month. We have included
activities for these but we encourage you to work them into your day
throughout the month. Also included are literacy, math, and science
activities. There are examples of field trips and opportunities to
practice social skills with other children.
These activities and learning experiences
are the kind of activities typically done in preschool programs. Parents
are their child's first teacher. In this role you have a powerful
influence on your child's learning. Taking part in these activities,
along with all the other things you do with your child, will help them
grow and develop.
The core of the curriculum is the
calendar of activities. The other sections offer support material for
the activities. If there is additional information for a particular
activity there will be a link to the page with more information.
The curriculum starts out with a list of
preschool supplies. It will be fun for you and your child to find the
items on the list. It will be the beginning of a yearly tradition you
and your child will enjoy together.
Children need structure and
predictability. Planning your preschool activities at the same time each
day, such as after breakfast or before lunch, will help your child
develop their organizational skills, as well as expand their knowledge
of the world around them. This also allows you a scheduled uninterrupted
time with your child each day.
