Preschool II “Creative” Program

The Creative Classroom will open a new world of learning for your 4 to 5-year-olds.  We work on building a strong academic foundation with math, science, literacy, and writing activities.  This is the year that your child will begin to expand on skills critical for future academic success.

Our Phonics curriculum is “Lively Letters™.” It is a research-based and clinically proven, multi-sensory reading program that turns plain, abstract letters and sounds into lively characters. Created by Nancy Telian, MS, CCC-SLP, forty-seven letters and letter combinations are embedded into colorful pictures that show students what to do with their mouths when making the letter sounds.

The core curriculum program is “Let’s Begin with the Letter People”.  This comprehensive curriculum program is organized around themes such as, “All About Me” and “Insects Everywhere” that integrate knowledge across different subject areas of literacy, math, science, and phonemic awareness.

“Handwriting without Tears”* is used as a primary component in supporting your child’s handwriting skills.  The program focuses on your child’s motor development and on the ability to understand the construction of each letter.  Carefully selected materials make learning to write fun for your child.

During Preschool II, your child will explore, learn, and grow within our enriching classroom based on the NH Early Learning Standards.  Opportunities are provided for one-on-one instruction and small group learning.  Each day consists of a morning meeting, math, science, literacy, free choice, and outside play.  The goal is for each child to become independent, self-assured, and graduate ready to enter Kindergarten with a strong academic foundation and social skills.

* Aligned with Hooksett School System to facilitate an easy transition to Kindergarten and Elementary School.
