PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Part Day Preschool Program provides an opportunity
for children to develop an early learning experience. Through careful
observation of the child’s interest we develop and create activities
that will stimulate them and keep them interested throughout the time
that they are in the programs care. This type of Curriculum is
known as “Creative Curriculum”.
Each child is assigned a primary caregiver that will inform
you of your child’s progress while in our program. The caregiver
will monitor and provide you with monthly samples of the child’s
handwriting, cutting, and art.
Parents are also encouraged to participate with ideas pertaining
to the interests of their children so that they can be incorporated into
the curriculum as it relates to the activities as they take place. The
participation of parents is important to the program as it assists us
in meeting the growth and developmental need of each individual child.
Our program consists of a Parent Advisory Council (PAC),
which meets monthly. This council works along with the staff to
help ensure a successful program. All parents are welcomed to come
and join the PAC.
The program has an open door policy.
PHILOSPHY STATEMENT
The Watters Child Development Part Day Preschool Program is designed
to educate the “whole” child: physically, intellectually,
emotionally, socially, linguistically, and aesthetically.
We will strive to address the needs of the developing child and provide
many educational opportunities for children to manipulate a wide variety
of material as they work independently in groups and with their caregivers.
We invite and encourage children to observe, explore, investigate, and
experiment through open-ended activities and explorations of materials.
We will strive to create a relaxed, responsive, happy, and intellectually
stimulating atmosphere. Our program is characterized by warm, positive
accepting attitudes towards all children. By taking into account
children’s differing learning styles, these patterns of development
are valued and respected.
