Sunnyview Preschool's curriculum focuses on helping young children develop an excitement for learning! This is accomplished by incorporating a variety of learning games and hands-on activities so that children remain engaged in the learning process.
The curriculum of Sunnyview Preschool allows for flexibility depending on student needs. But students will follow very similar routines from day to day.
9:00 Arrival
The children play quietly with puzzles and books as we wait for everyone to arrive.
9:15 Circle Time
During Circle Time, students sing the welcome song, say the pledge of allegiance, announce the date, discuss the weather, and are introduced to (or review) the letter of the week.
9:30 Centers
During Centers, children are assigned to one of two groups where they are encouraged to engage in a certain activity. Because the children are assigned to a different group each day, they learn to socialize and share with all children in the classroom.
9:45 Art
Children will participate in art activities associated with the letter or stories we are learning. The painting, coloring, and crafting they will do helps to encourage development of their fine motor skills.
10:00 Recess
A variety of outdoor activities are offered at recess, and occasionally, children will participate in parental-approved walks to the neighborhood park. Students are required to wash their hands upon return from recess.
10:30 Music
Children sing, play instruments, dance, and play games.
10:45 Letter Books
This unique, custom curriculum allows children to practice handwriting, recognize letter sounds, engage in listening activities, and demonstrate critical thinking skills. Books will be completed for each letter and will be sent home every two weeks. All class activities will be centered around the Letter Book Curriculum.
11:00 Centers Switch
Groups switch centers to participate in the activity they did not participate in earlier in the day.
11:15 Clean Up and Lunch Helpers
Children are given helper assignments to clean up Centers and prepare for Lunch.
11:30 Lunch
Each student provides his or her own lunch.
12:00 Literacy Learning
Games are an excellent way to encourage excitement about learning. During this time, the entire class will participate together in games that promote early literacy.
12:15 Evaluative Learning/Reading
The class participates as a group in games that teach patterns, shapes, number recognition, object counting, matching, and simple addition/subtraction. As the day winds down, children sit and listen to stories associated with themes from our Letter Book Curriculum. They are encouraged to participate in discussion following the reading of these books.
12:30 Filling Backpacks, Line-up, Ready to go!
Children prepare to leave by gathering their artwork and other items to take home. We line up at the door to meet parents.
