What We Do
In addition to our comprehensive educationally-focused curriculum, we are proud to incorporate the following:
1. SOCIALIZATION: opportunities for making a variety of new friends; experiencing new social dynamics and interactions; working and playing together; for helping each other; for learning to wait patiently and taking turns; for respecting the feelings of others.
2. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT: opportunities for gross motor activities both indoors and outdoors that allow children to climb, swing, balance, run and jump, for small motor activities such as using pegs, puzzles, Legos, scissors and writing.
3. INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT: opportunities to learn to use the mind for thinking, reasoning and problem solving such as measuring and pouring with rice or water; looking critically at their surroundings to see likenesses and differences; handling and experimenting with a variety of materials; opportunities for letter, shape, color, and number recognition.
4. CREATIVITY: opportunities to work and experiment with open-ended materials which meet the needs for self-expression, reconstructing reality and stimulating the imagination (play dough, paints, finger paints, cutting and gluing materials) and to express ideas, concepts, stories and role playing ( dress-up corner, house center, puppets).
5. EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT: fostering emotional independence, understanding and managing their emotions, developing feelings of confidence and self-worth, and learning to cooperatively interact with peers and adults.
6. PROGRAM ENRICHMENT: providing enrichment opportunities such as yoga classes, music classes, cooking, dancing, and various others.
All of these will help prepare your child for a successful transition to Kindergarten.
It is important to remember the “C” in GICNS. Starting with Orientation, we will need your Cooperation to make your child's preschool experience the best that it can be.
