:) We run a graduated program from the pebble room up. It begins and ends with the Ct. Preschool Benchmarks. These are stepping stones that envelop all areas of learning including; personal, social, physical, cognitive, and creative expression. The Pebble room (1-2yrs) uses rhyming and lots of language along with books and music to stimulate learning while playing. The Nugget room (2-3yrs) steps it up a bit by using their names everywhere and introducing playful and artistic ways to learn and use letters and numbers. The Cloud Hopper room (3-4yrs) introduces many new vocabulary words and lots of thinking skills. Each center is rich with learning materials and teacher instruction is increased. The curriculum focuses on a letter each week, and more number games as the teachers incorporate this in a fun lesson plan. Finally, when the child reaches the Rainbow room, (4-5yrs) we have an intensive pre-kindergarten program using the Ct. Benchmarks as the basis for all of the plans. This guide helps the teacher to know all areas and levels necessary for kindergarten. It is a wonderful tool and is used to assess at certain times in the year to see where the children are and where they need to be. If you would like a copy of the Benchmarks, please click the link below to open the PDF file. They are very interesting and it will help you to see where your child is as well.
Ct. Benchmarks
