The moment you enter our preschool you will notice that we provide a print rich environment as a part of our classroom environment.  Throughout the room you will see items labeled, children’s dictated stories, household props, and plenty of books. 

At this stage of development children begin to understand that print carries meaning and that there is a difference between writing and drawing.  These new found skills begin to open up a whole new world for them.  During the preschool years, children gain skills in logical thinking, problem solving, information gathering and acquire a body of common knowledge through daily activities. 

At Amazing Kids, we believe an important part of a child’s development is their desire to share their ideas through discussion with peers and teachers and welcome these opportunities to encourage and enhance learning moments throughout the day.   Our staff recognizes this and always takes the time to listen, guide, and provide meaningful opportunities to express themselves.  

Our classroom centers are designed to be a child’s connection to the world. School readiness skills are acquired through centers based on the Massachusetts Frameworks and the domains of Early Childhood Learning:  Social/Emotional, Approaches to Learning, Self-Help, Language Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Science and History, Creative Arts, and Physical Health and Development.  Our centers are designed to provide interesting learning experiences and encourage various learning strategies taking into consideration their interests, readiness, and cognitive skills.  

This is also an important time when children start taking risks with their reading and writing as a means of communication.  You can often find them sitting at the Writing Center working on writing letters to loved ones or taking a food order in the Dramatic Play area as they play restaurant.  Our Science Center offers opportunity for science exploration and discovery by providing open-ended activities to investigate, self-discover and problem solve. The Math Center is set up to encourage interaction with concrete objects through play by creating opportunities for discovery of basic math concepts. 
 


Blocks and puzzles will be used to teach counting, color, sorting, patterns, problem solving, and cause and effect.   Another important area of our curriculum is art.  Through art, children learn to communicate and express themselves while developing their language, physical, cognitive, social and emotional skills.


At Amazing Kids, we believe that play is important for young children because fun is the number one motivator for children and when a child grows learning that school is fun, this will stay with them long after they have left their early childhood years
