and ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT The building blocks to future academic
learning begins in preschool. Children learn at the preschool level
to develop and acquire academic knowledge, which will help them
through their lives. The child's self-esteem and belief that he/she
is a great learner and is important to nurture during this time.
Developing academic and cognitive skills, with the child's
self-esteem as the emphasis, creates bright, enthusiastic and
inquisitive students. Children love to learn and become part of the
grown up world though acquiring knowledge such as: -Learning
primary and secondary colors. -Learning to name and draw at last 6

planting the resulting seedlings.) -Learning to take care of
animals. We have on premises many kinds of birds, rabbits, and baby

so does his understanding of the world around him. Children who are
able to express themselves and who feels as if they are understood
become more confident and self-assured each day. Our Language
Development Program includes: 1. Developing, expanding and refining
vocabulary and sentence structure by introducing new learning
opportunities and experiences. 2. Increasing the child's
comprehension skills through open-ended questions and answers. 3.
Learning to describe happenings along with cause and effect. 4.
Developing the child's ability to comprehend simple instructions
and stories. 5. Developing pre-reading skills through story time
and access to books. Social and Emotional Development Children
develop social skills while engaging in activities with other
adults and children. Playing with their friends help teach the
children to work together and help them realize that everyone is
different. Social and emotional development encourages children to
care and respect other as well as themselves, share, make
decisions. work cooperatively, solve problems, express feelings,
control impulses, develop initiating and following skills, and
caring for equipment and other class room material.
