Preschool Classroom
Our Preschool Classroom is a wonderful place to introduce education to your children. We strive to have a good mix of individual, small and large group instruction; both structured and unstructured. Our teachers have the knowledge and enthusiasm needed to guide children through theme-based, hands-on activities in the areas of art, science, math, reading and writing readiness, dramatic play, small and large motor skills.
During a typical day, your child will actively participate in a morning circle time in which he or she will recite numbers, colors, letters, shapes, days of the week, months of the year, and theme based material in the forms of songs, rhymes, and poems. He/she will circulate through a round of centers in which various manipulatives and reading, writing, science, math, and art activities will be available. Outside play is an important part of our everyday activities at FKS. If weather permits, we will go outside twice every day. Your child will also create art projects, act out stories in the dramatic play area, build with blocks, and so much more. Most importantly, your child will have the opportunity to build friendships, practice cooperation, and express him/herself in a positive and loving environment.
