I believe children should have fun! Even the experts agree that preschool age children learn most through play. These carefree years are so short, and soon the children will be exposed to a much more structured form of learning. How then do I encourage a child's love of learning? By making learning fun! Each month a theme is presented. These themes are all based on things which interest children. During the month, many activities take place which help promote basic skills (letter & number recognition, color & shape recognition, large motor skills, small motor skills, etc.) and as many of these activities as possible center around the month's theme. Many of the curriculum materials I have seem more like toys to the children, yet while the children are playing with them, they are learning important concepts.
I believe in providing a safe, positive, structured, stimulating and loving environment for your children. This means rules will be enforced for the safety of your children and age appropriate activates will be conducted daily to stimulate your child. All of this will be conducted in a loving and fun atmosphere that will encourage individuality, and confidence in each and every child.
I taught Kindergarten for 6 years prior to the birth of my son.
