As they mature, two-year-olds are just beginning to express themselves through oral language, social relationships, creative arts, mathematical relationships, and physical skills. We aim to support the physical, cognitive and the social/emotional development of each child.
Preschool with Continuity Of Care
Your child will join together each morning with other Explorers as a community of learners to start off the day with music and movement in circle time. Our continuity of care groups offer a smaller context for the Explorers when they take part in daily story time and group time. Our experienced and well-trained teachers observe and support the children in their care as they investigate materials in the classroom.
Learning Centers
When your toddler comes to Skipwith, he or she will have many opportunities with which to be engaged. When you visit an Explorer classroom you will see preschoolers painting at an easel, creating a collage at the art table, singing and playing rhythm instruments, building with blocks, stringing beads, playing in the home living area, scooping and pouring at the sensory table as well as interacting with puppets and books in the library.
Outside Activities
Your child will enjoy the fresh air and exercise in our extraordinary outside learning environments. On the playground your child with join with other Explorers running and climbing, playing with balls, riding on play vehicles, experimenting with materials from nature, and watering their plants.
Theme-Based Lesson Plans
The students’ actions and ideas generate the weekly activity plans, which enhance the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of each child. Our teachers design exciting group lesson plans and add theme-related objects to enrich the environment.
Family Involvement
Communication is very important to our staff; parents receive ongoing communications throughout the day about their child’s schedule and activities.
