Progress Reports

Early Education Station has a class of older two/younger three year old children and a class of older three year olds in order to meet each child’s individual needs. Because this age child develops and grows so rapidly, families and teachers are able to determine which classroom is more appropriate. Learning centers and developmentally appropriate group activities are used to help the children grow and develop.

Three year old children are beginning to show interest in others and group activities. Monthly themes, weekly topics and daily activities are used to give children pre-readiness skills, and to keep the children interested in learning. The children learn numerous skills all while they are having fun. Children spend their day interacting in active learning centers, small group, and large group activities.

Children are given daily opportunity to practice prewriting skills. Coloring sheets are not presented so that children develop thinking and problem solving skills, and have confidence in their ability to create.

Math is incorporated into active learning stations throughout the day. Children are often engaged in activity where they experience one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, matching, sorting, etc.

Large group activity is presented to the children each day. The repetition of singing, counting, rhyming, and recognizing name helps children to master the foundation skills they will need to excel in school years.

The sensory station is great fun for the children all while the hands-on exploration helps them learn about basic science concepts, such as gravity, weight, balance, and volume.

The outdoors are utilized daily (weather permitting) to help children enhance gross motor and other skills.

“My Day” reports are sent home each day showing the skills presented to the children. Assessment reports are completed every nine weeks to evaluate each child’s development.
