Preschool Programming (3-Year Olds)
"I go to sleep thinking about my children being spoiled and I wake up thinking about it."
~ Adam Sandler
Our commitment to quality care enhances our Preschool Program through our hands-on, theme based curriculum, which allows children to make good choices and be successful. At each stage of preschool development careful consideration is given to classroom arrangement and selection of developmentally appropriate toys and equipment to enhance the development of the children. The preschool classroom revolves around 8 interest areas: creative arts, blocks, dramatic play, book corner, manipulatives, math, science and sensory. Insterest areas are enriched with engaging activities corresponding with the theme. Children interact with a variety of materials to discover and learn. It is through this child-directed play and fun that preschoolers are actually learning concepts such as counting, letter recognition, sounds, shapes, colors sequencing and listening skills in prepartion for kindergarten.
Arts for Kids has a written program of activities planned according to the developmental level of each group of children and intended to expose children to a variety of cultures. The program will give each child experiences that will encourage the following:
Self esteem and positive self-images
Social interacation
Self-expression and communication skills
Creative expression
Large and small muscle development
Intelluctual growth

Happy new year families!
It’s 2025; how crazy is that! We spent the last month talking about winter and snowflakes! We made our own gingerbread people! We finished out the month with a pajama day and watched Frozen!
I hope everyone enjoyed the time with family for the holidays. It was exciting to hear about what the kiddos got from Santa.
This next month we’re talking about mittens, Arctic animals, Baking, and numbers! Can’t wait to show you all the projects we’ll do!
Please remember to bring snow gear everyday! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to message me.

Hello Families!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Years! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! Can you believe how fast this year has flown by already?
Throughout the month of December we focused on the following themes: Candy Canes, Snowmen & Gingerbread, Winter, Christmas, and New Years! We ended up with many creative and hands-on activities such as Washi Tape Candy Canes, Puffy Painted Melted Snowman, Snowflake Suncatchers, we made our Christmas gifts for our parents, and New Year’s Noise Makers to celebrate the New Year!
Next month’s themes include: Mittens, Arctic Animals, Baking, and Numbers! We have so many activities and art projects planned for the next month! We cannot wait to share it all with you!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out on HiMama or to me personally!
