Growing Daisies

(3 years to 4 years old)

In our Pre-K 3 program, we prioritize fostering social-emotional, physical, language, cognitive, literacy, and mathematical skills, providing a nurturing environment that supports comprehensive development.

Social-Emotional

Children learn to regulate their emotions by seeking comfort from special individuals or objects and demonstrate emerging patience by occasionally viewing situations differently or delaying gratification. They follow established rules and expectations, displaying an understanding of classroom routines with occasional reminders.

Moreover, children establish positive relationships with adults, showing resilience in managing separations and displaying empathy by responding to emotional cues. In peer interactions, they employ successful strategies to enter groups and cultivate friendships with one or two preferred playmates.

Additionally, children actively participate in group activities, demonstrating cooperation by taking turns and displaying problem-solving skills by seeking adult assistance and suggesting solutions to social conflicts.

Physical

They demonstrate purposeful movement with control, traveling from place to place adeptly. Additionally, they exhibit balance by sustaining it during simple movement activities. Children also showcase gross-motor manipulative skills, using flexible body movements to manipulate balls or similar objects.

Furthermore, they develop fine-motor strength and coordination, utilizing refined finger and wrist movements. They begin to use writing and drawing tools, gripping them with their whole hand and making marks using both finger and arm movements.

Children also learn to hold drawing and writing tools with a three-point finger grip, although they may initially hold the instrument too close to one end.

Language

Children listen attentively and respond appropriately to specific vocabulary and questions. They follow both simple and multi-step directions related to familiar experiences. Children use language effectively to express thoughts, expanding their vocabulary and describing familiar objects.

They speak clearly, constructing complete sentences, albeit occasionally mispronouncing new words. They narrate simple stories with logical order, advancing to include major details. In conversations, they engage in exchanges and adhere to social rules of language, using acceptable language and basic etiquette, sometimes needing reminders.

Cognitive

We encourage positive approaches to learning by engaging attentively and persistently in tasks, seeking solutions and adapting their strategies as needed. Children observe and imitate problem-solving methods, showing eagerness to learn and exploring different avenues to achieve goals.

They exhibit flexibility in thinking, using creativity and imagination during play and adapting plans based on new ideas. Additionally, children recall past experiences, recognizing and recalling familiar people, places, and actions, and making connections between personal routines and everyday situations.

Children also classify objects based on single characteristics and use symbols or images to represent absent objects, demonstrating symbolic thinking. Furthermore, children engage in sociodramatic play, acting out familiar or imaginary scenarios and using props to represent other objects.

Literacy

Children demonstrate phonological awareness and word recognition by noticing rhymes, filling in missing rhyming words, and generating rhyming words spontaneously. Additionally, they recognize alliteration and show awareness of separate words in sentences. Children progress in alphabet knowledge, identifying and naming letters, particularly those in their own name, and associating letter sounds.

They also understand the use of print, correctly orienting books, turning pages, and recognizing familiar books by their cover. Furthermore, children comprehend and respond to texts by engaging in reading experiences, contributing language from books, asking and answering questions, and retelling stories with adult prompting.

In writing, children develop skills by writing their name, making controlled scribbles, forming mock letters, writing letter strings, and conveying ideas through drawings, dictations, or letter strings.

Mathematics

They begin by counting verbally up to 10 and accurately counting up to five objects using one number name for each object. Additionally, children recognize and name the number of items in small sets instantly, as well as combine and separate objects while describing the parts.

Children connect numerals with quantities, identifying numerals and associating them with counted objects. In spatial reasoning, children understand basic spatial relationships and identify a few basic shapes such as circles, squares, and triangles.

They measure objects, make simple comparisons between objects, and order objects based on size, length, weight, area, or volume. Moreover, children demonstrate an understanding of patterns by copying simple repeating patterns.
