Our Preschool Curriculum

Preschool is the place where strong foundations are developed so that future educational experiences have a substantial basis on which to work. Since preschool age children are very impressionable, it is important that they have positive experiences and feelings about their ability to learn. These feelings will also impact their willingness to try new things.

At Redd School, each preschooler is exposed to a variety of experiences and learning opportunities and each developmental stage is addressed with love and challenge. Instruction is success oriented and made for fun!

The curriculum is designed to integrate all subject areas so the day runs smoothly and transitions are made easily.

The preschool buildings were designed with little people in mind – they are safe, comfortable, and full of stimulating materials affording teachers the ability to work one on one and make each child feel special.

Our teachers were chosen for their expertise in the field of early childhood and for their loving concern for your child’s well being. They combine both attributes in the classroom and the result is well-adjusted, happy children who love learning.

Mathematics

The hands-on approach is used so children have a firm grasp of concepts. Math is totally developmental and as soon as one concept is understood and easily practiced, the children move on to the next. At each juncture, they see and manipulate so that learning becomes concrete.

Social Studies

Preschool Social Studies is about people – the people in our family, classroom, community and how we get all get along. Tolerance, compassion, empathy and sharing are a part of each social studies unit. Even at this young age, we talk about making good choices and listening to our hearts when being pressured to make choices we know are wrong. Each unit is integrated with the letter we are studying or the books we are reading. The Redd School campus is made for science and it’s a prime opportunity to nurture the innate curiosity of a preschool child. They are encouraged to question, explore and research. Hands-on experiences with animals, the gardens and the universe around us make for an exciting science experience.

Fine Arts

Making music, dressing up in the dramatic play area, and creating beautiful masterpieces in the art area are included in the preschool program. Creativity is encouraged and each child has the opportunity to learn and experiment with different mediums. Our emphasis is on the process of art, not on the final product. Art is enjoyed as an expression of each preschooler, thus fostering self-esteem and individuality.
