Tools for Kindergarten & Beyond

Melissa’s Private Preschool teaches its students the fundamentals of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic to help better prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond. Students learn these subjects as well as basic introductions to Science, Geography, History, Creative Arts and Music Appreciation through a structured curriculum over the course of a 9-month school year. As key components to a child's growth and successful development, we focus our curriculum on the following areas:

 

Literacy Awareness

Citizenship & Values

Math & Technology

Arts Awareness

Science Experimentation

Social Studies

Logic & Reasoning Skills

 

A "Home-Away-From-Home"

Melissa’s Private Preschool is a “home-away-from-home” where children receive a wonderful education in a relaxed, nurturing and positive atmosphere.  Our enriched program coupled with a low child-teacher ratio and small class sizes allow children to experience a child-centered, hands-on learning environment.  Children learn through positive, cognitive activities directed by a talented and caring teacher. Every child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and academic development is closely monitored and promoted in positive ways designed to further curiosity and creativity. We encourage our children whenever possible to learn to make their own decisions and to solve problems with guidance when necessary or desirable. By guiding students and respecting their individual temperaments, talents, and abilities our curriculum encompasses every child’s interest, enthusiasm, and ideas.

 

Establishing A Learning Foundation

A quality preschool education establishes a learning foundation that enables children to arrive at kindergarten ready to learn, play and build on their self confidence. Melissa's Private Preschool builds this foundation by developing and refining the following areas in each child:

 

Problem Solving Skills

Conceptual & Language Skills

Manipulative & Creative Abilities

Interaction With Adults & Peers

Self-discipline & Self-help Skills

Building A Positive Attitude

Large & Small Muscle Development

Kindergarten Preparation

Thinking & Reasoning Skills

Proper Health, Safety & Nutrition

 

Measuring Success

We measure success by witnessing our students who not only find happiness and joy in our educational setting but who learn with incredible proficiency.
