LITTLE EXPLORERS NPC CRECHE/PRESCHOOL
What We Do
We provides early childhood education to children typically aged:
1½ to 5 years old.
Our children engage in a variety of activities designed to help them develop social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills.
They learn through play and exploration, as well as structured activities that introduce them to basic academic concepts such as letters, numbers, and shapes.
Some of these activities are as follows:
FINE MOTOR SKILLS
When I am working fitting small pieces together I am concentrating and developing my fine motor skills.
This is good practice – I will need to use these small muscles for holding a pencil when I learn to write. When I finish, make, or master something I feel good about myself.
ARTS CORNER
In the art area I am expressing myself and being creative.
I am using my small muscles and am developing eye-hand coordination.
I am seeing cause and effect and the different properties of my materials. I am exploring all different types of media. All of my creations are unique and special – like me!
DRAMATIC PLAY CORNER
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. When I am playing in the dramatic play area I try on various roles to help me process and understand my world.
I am developing my social skills and ability to play with others, while using my imagination and being creative. I am exploring concepts and relationships by acting them out.
GROUP TIME
Participating in group time teaches me that I am part of a larger community.
I am also learning some things I will need to be able to do when I get to school – sit without bothering others, listen, wait my turn, and how to follow directions.
Many educational concepts are introduced at this time.
CLASSROOM RESPONSIBILITY
When I help take care of my classroom I feel important and a part of things.
It also helps to teach me responsibility and independence.
I like to know that I can help!
WRITING & READING
The writing area lets me experience and explore the written word.
I am able to see how the written word is a part of my world.
When I play “office” I am practicing my letters and writing skills, which helps prepare me for school.
NUMBERS
With number activities I am experiencing mathematical concepts hands-on.
I count, sort, classify, match, measure, compare, group, judge amounts and proportions, and learn about shapes, sizes, and quantities. I learn 1-to-1 correspondence, problem-solving, and about spatial relationships.
OUTDOOR TIME
Time outdoors is very important to me!
It’s a release for me – I am able to run and jump and scream and get all of my energy out!
The fresh air is good for me.
I am also developing my large muscles, balance, and coordination while I play.
