Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day! Today, we enjoyed celebrations of friendship and kindness in our programs. Children passed out valentines to each other and enjoyed tasty snacks. We are participating in the Great Kindness Challenge this month which correlates perfectly with Valentines Day! We want to show love and respect to ourselves and others. We wish you all a very happy day.

Curriculum

We had a great time meeting and talking with families last night at the Preschool Fair. Many families were interested in learning more about the curriculum of our program. All of our early childhood programs from infancy through 5 years old follow an emergent curriculum with aspects of Highscope.

Emergent curriculum lends itself to play-based learning. The goal of emergent curriculum is for our teachers to respond to the children’s interests and generate lesson plans based on these things. It is open-ended, providing a wide canvas for the learning process. It is individualized, allowing for our teachers to interact with and expand upon each child’s questions and interests. It is process-based, enabling our teachers to give considerable attention to the quality of how learning is happening.

We encourage anyone with questions about our curriculum, tuition, hours or enrollment to call the preschool office. We'd be happy to talk with you about the variety of programs offered through the Grosse Pointe Public School District.
