Preschool geared class time! We will engage and learn skills that lay the foundation to be lifelong learners. We will have opportunities to develop physical, fine and gross motor skills with many different activities. Using their hands to explore materials like, paint, play dough, puzzles, sand as well as things to write with. We will work with children on respecting others and working together. Children build there social skills and self control. With my support children learn to resolve conflicts that come up during play. Emotional development in class will help your child recognize and manage their own feelings and behaviors. We will also practice showing concern for others and cultivating empathy. I will provide materials to use and time to explore them. Please send a healthy large snack and a full water bottle with your child's name labeled on it. Please dress them in clothing that can get messy or stained. If there are young please have extra clothes.
Preschool Learning Playgroup's learning focus is to build on social-emotional skills, solving social problems, while tying in academic learning through their interest's and play. We will have a short circle time, story, music and movement, stations where children can choose activities they would like to participate in, snack time, and our favorite SHARE TIME! During Share Time, children get to bring something from home and share about it with their friends. It's is a fun way to practice language skills and learning how to take turns, trade, or share. A small snack will also need to be provided for from home. This class is designed to flow with children's interest's as we practice those important social-emotional skills. Preschool Learning Playgroup is joy led, child-directed, and all about connecting through play!
"Teach children to view the world as a magical place, to see the ordinary as extraordinary, and you will empower them to discover awe and wonder in everything they do," unknown author. One of my greatest desires when I was teaching preschool and now as a homeschool mom is that as my children and I learn together our hearts will be full of more and more wonder. My hope is that in this learning playgroup children aren't even aware they are "learning" and are most aware of how much fun they are having. We will sing, dance, read stories, explore topics of their interest, play, play, and play. There will be a structure that consists of time spent at circle time, creation time, free play time, snack time, and story time. I will incorporate literacy, math, aspects of God's character and how He relates to them, social-emotional skills, and all while having fun and playing.

Albert Einstein said, "Play is the highest form of intelligence." More and more studies are showing the importance of play not just to support healthy social emotional skills but cognitive brain development and I would add a child's spiritual health as well. The wonder of God is so tangible to a child and my aim is to create a space that nurtures and supports a child's natural awe and curiosity. We will begin our class with a fun and engaging circle time that introduces a new social emotional skill we will be working on during our choice time. Children will then choose from various play stations prepared in the room for them to do what children naturally do best: imaginative & creative play. I utilize resources from Second Steps Early Learning Curriculum & the Zones of Regulation material that supports social emotional intelligence. Our class time is purposefully a little longer than most classes so that we can provide sufficient time for children to engage in play, create, build, work through social conflicts, and practice problem solving. My background is in early childhood education, I was a Head Start teacher, children's pastor, I am a mom of 3 beautiful children, and most importantly I'm passionate about following God's lead in supporting what He already is doing in the lives of His children. I'd love to connect with you and your family.
Requirements:
This class is for preschool age children between the ages of 3-5. Children must be 3 by the time of our first class.
