Our classrooms are designed to be an inviting, attractive, fun and functional environment. This helps children create a positive attitude about themselves and school. Our dynamic classroom changes to “set the stage” for each weekly theme. We will have ten centers and may add others as additional learning opportunities arise. These centers will contain learning activities that foster decision making skills, promote independence, and encourage group involvement.
Learning Centers
Circle Time • This is the time of day that we will gather in one area and learn about the calendar, weather, and read literature that supports the weekly theme.
Library Center • Our Library currently has over 2,000 books. New books will be set out each week that coincides with the weekly theme.
Block Center • Legos, wooden blocks, containers and tubes help children develop spatial skills.
