Younger Preschool

All Stars preschool room schedule and curriculum is designed to add more structure, decreasing flexibility and minimizing transitions.

Our schedule: consists of teacher- initiated activities, large group times, quiet reading, large motor, meals, nap, and clean up.

Our classroom: The teachers changes the equipment in the classroom every three to four weeks to provide children with a variety of age-appropriate toys and equipment to engage with during child-initiated playtime. Large group activities increase the child’s attention span and listening skills while developing confidence in a group setting by enhancing social and emotional skills.

Our Curriculum: is developed on a weekly basis, focusing on a variety of subjects. Our preschool teachers use a number of strategies and activities to encourage growth and development, including: playful interactions, songs, stories, positive reinforcement, direction, redirection, and modeling of appropriate behavior.

The younger preschool program focuses on expanding social skills; independence, problem-solving skills, health and safety habits, and a strong emphasis on helping children recognize and verbalize emotions. Teachers also use an anti- violence curriculum, Second Step, in the Younger Preschool Room .
