Why My School Preschool? - Experience Based Learning
The focus at My School Preschool is experience-based learning where children participate in intentional experiences in the classroom, gym, art room & playground, monthly in-house field trips from museums, story tellers, dancers, musicians & more, and optional after-school Enrichment such as soccer, Spanish, reading or ballet.
Through these activities, the children are guided to to develop a love for learning. They begin to act, think and speak independently and implement problem-solving techniques in their work and play. They learn to work and play in a cooperative manner and to respect the feelings, possessions, ideas and work of others. The children experience and explore the process of an activity rather than focusing solely on the final product.
My School Preschool is committed to the social, emotional and physical well-being of the children and their families. Supporting the child’s social & emotional development is an ongoing partnership between teachers and families. The teachers employ positive guidance techniques such as: assisting children to solve interpersonal challenges via peaceful negotiation, redirecting a child to appropriate activities that match the child’s energy level and interest, identifying triggers of behaviors, and communicating with parents.
