Welcome to Discovery Day's Preschool!

Hello!

I am happy to be able to have age separation this upcoming school year. I have always taught mixed ages (3,4,&5's) and I like how the little ones learn from the older children, it is a great example of positive peer pressure and modeling.

This year, however, I am excited to have a 3 year old class and a separate pre-kindergarten class.

If your child attended either of my sessions of preschool this year, don't be worried. I will be offering a whole new curriculum this year for both age groups.

I am used to teaching 5 days a week for the past 10 years, so I have a ton of curriculum ideas that I am itching to use.

For the 3 year old class I will be focusing on the following areas:
-colors
-shapes
-letters
-sounds
-numbers/counting
-small motor skills (cutting, pre-writing)
-social skills
-classroom skills
-music
-sign language
-science
-dramatic play
-sensory
-art

For the 4 year old class I will be focusing on the following areas:
-letters
-sounds
-pre-reading
-reading
-pre-writing
-writing
-numbers/counting
-patterns
-small motor skills
-classroom skills
-social skills
-music
-sign language
-science
-sensory
-art

Every child learns at a different pace, I am willing to work with your child at their own pace to learn and grow. Most importantly I want your child to feel loved and know that school is a fun, safe, exciting place to be!

If you have any other specific questions please feel free to leave a comment here or call me at 801-367-6136.
Thanks! Mandy
