Gross Motor

This is one of the most basic of the domains that your child is already learning. In the simplest terms,
this is when your child learns how to use the big muscle groups in their body. While your kiddo is already
past crawling and have moved on to walking, there are always more gross motor skills to be learned.
Participating in active games and playing sports are just a couple of ways these skills can be obtained
while your little one is attending preschool.

Fine Motor

While hand-eye coordination comes far more naturally to some, this is not true of all. Children have to
learn how to control their muscle movement in their hands in order to obtain hand-eye coordination
and more. There are specific ways we do this in the classroom such as having your child use scissors,
color, play with Legos, draw pictures and more. These skills can turn into more advanced ones later on
like when your child decides he/she wants to knit or play the guitar.

Language

While we are sure you have been working with your child so that he/she knows how to recognize the
letters of the alphabet or even read shorter words, this is one domain that takes a while to perfect as
even into adulthood, this domain can be improved. We like to read to the children and also speak to
them as often as possible so that they can learn to communicate their wants, needs, opinions and more.

Cognitive

The cognitive domain is the one that children develop in order to understand cause and effect. This sort
of skill will also aid in early math skills such as counting and recognizing patterns. We will work to help
your child to understand what sort of things occur because of their actions in order to more fully
develop this domain.
Social/Emotional

In order to be successful in the long run, children have to socialize. Not only does spending time with
other children teach them important skills like how to share, but it also gives them the chances to
develop good manners and overall behavior.

Self Help/Adaptive

One of the best things about enrolling your child in a preschool is that they can begin to rely on
themselves a bit. While they have been relying on you, the parent, since the moment they were born,
they are now spending an extended amount of time away from you, meaning they have to rely on
themselves and only themselves. One of the most important ways children learn to help themselves is
when they begin to go through potty-training, something we advocate for largely at our preschool.

Morals/Values

While we truly believe that self respect and love is behavior that is learned from the parents, children
tend to learn a lot about themselves by being exposed to the personalities and habits of others, like
those in their class. Additionally, positive influences like the instructors at our preschool can help your
little one to get a better grasp on the difference between what is right and wrong, as well as learning to
accept those who are different from them.
