2022 - 2023 | CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER
(2 - 5 Year Olds)
OUR GOAL is to provide a well balanced program through play and creative activities that allow each child to develop at their own rate.
Our Program offers Preschool classes for 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, and
Pre-Kindergarten classes for 4 to 5-year-olds. We offer full and half-day schedule options to accommodate most parents' personal and family needs.
Our Classes
LARKS
2-3 Year Olds
We will focus on gaining trust and establishing patterns with our youngest children at Willamette Kids Preschool. We model and encourage positive social interactions with peers and
caregivers. We partner with families to begin the potty learning process and establish a
developmental guideline for each individual child in our care. We offer varied possibilities for each child to interact at his/her own pace, while encouraging a variety of learning tasks and play inquiries. We will do these things within the framework of our WKP mission statement, and by providing a nurturing, developmental, biblically-based environment for our youngest children.
DOVES
3-4 Year Olds
This classroom serves as the beginning of our classroom skills curriculum. We offer a variety of
hands-on developmental learning experiences for the children to engage at their own pace. In
this class, we will begin to introduce High Scope curriculum techniques, as well as small group experiences, making it a focus to tap into all the key developmental components throughout the week. We will offer varied learning centers that focus on art, science, sensory experiences, drama, literature, music, pre-math concepts and pre-writing concepts. While also weaving biblical principals throughout our day-to-day curriculum. We will encourage independence in self-care tasks such as using the restroom, washing hands, putting on shoes and coats. Social-emotional growth will also be a focus as we begin to navigate through our day with our peers and teachers.
SPARROWS
4 & 5 Pre-K
This classroom serves as a continuation of skills implemented in the Dove class. Here the children will develop those skills further and gain greater insight and knowledge that will support their next steps into the elementary school setting. In the Sparrow class, they focus on independence, honing social skills, increasing critical thinking skills, further developing conflict resolution techniques, all within the confines of a developmentally appropriate, hands-on, play-based environment. Children have the choice to maneuver through the various learning centers offered including, but not limited to, music and movement, art , science, math centers, literacy centers, and sensory experiences. Small group time encompasses the key learning experiences, as well as children's interests. Once a week, the children engage in journal work. We will also continue to weave biblical principles throughout our day-to-day curriculum.
