Now Enrolling Children Ages 6 Weeks To 9 Years Of Age

Philosophy:

Each child is a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth, as well as an individual personality and learning style.  We believe children should be encouraged to feel they are capable of doing for themselves to develop a good feeling of independence.

Children should be provided with an environment in which they are given many opportunities to develop social skills such as cooperating, helping, and sharing.  We believe that interaction and activities should be designed to develop good self-esteem and positive feelings toward learning.

At West Redding Preschool, our goal is to create an atmosphere that will enhance and develop each child’s growth and uniqueness, and prepare each child for the educational challenges they will face tomorrow.

Staff:

Our staff is certified in Pediatric CPR, First Aid, and emergency procedures.  Our staff is selected for their education, training, and their sensitivity to the individual needs of the children.

The staff in the West Redding Preschool Infant Room know that each child is special and precious.  They provide a safe, nurturing, and healthy environment for your child

Curriculum Goals:

Our goal is to create an atmosphere that will educate children physically, emotionally, academically, creatively, and socially.  We provide a curriculum that assists in building the learning foundations today that children will need for later academic growth.  Our programs are designed to enhance each child’s overall growth and development.

Program Description:

We offer structured programs for children 6 weeks through 5 years of age.  The rich and warm environment of each class is stress-free while providing experiences that meet children’s needs and stimulate their natural curiosity for learning in all physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development areas.

Our highly qualified teachers provide a supportive and caring environment for children to learn in through active exploration and interaction.  Each child is viewed as an individual with different levels of ability, strengths, interests, development, and learning styles that are used to design appropriate activities.

Our infant toddler program offers a nurturing and safe environment that allows children to explore their surroundings through repetition, imitation, and identification, with their senses and with hands-on experiences.  Warm and positive relationships with teachers help infants and toddlers develop a sense of trust and feelings of competence which develop into healthy self-esteem.  Older toddlers are provided with a stimulating and gentle environment to provide for an easy transition between home and school.

Our preschool program emphasizes language activities, math concepts, manipulative, art, music, and movement with an emphasis on concrete, hands-on activities, and many opportunities to see how reading and writing are useful before they are instructed in letter names, sounds, and word identification.  Learning about math, science, social studies, health, and other content areas are all integrated through meaningful activities.  Children have daily opportunities for expression and appreciation through art and music.  Activities are designed to concentrate on furthering emerging skills through creative activity and involvement.

Learning takes place as young children touch, manipulate, and experiment with things and interact with people.  Our teachers work in partnership with parents, communicating regularly to build mutual understanding and greater consistency for the children.  We are the stepping stone between home and school.

Nutrition:

USDA-approved breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks are provided daily.
