Philosophy:
At Deer Lake Preschool we believe that:
- all children are unique inidividuals with their own personality and background which makes them special
- it is through respect that children come to respect others and themselves
- limits, fairly and consistently applied, help develop in children with a sense of order and security without which they cannot function with confidence and competence
- we take away from children's sense of achievement and self-esteem when we do things or make decisions for them that they are capable of doing or making themselves
- Deer Lake Preschool is an extension of all our familites, offering mutual support and friendship
- all children should be encouraged to participate in the full range of activities and relationships in a setting free of sex-stereotyped models and expectations
- because children are unable to protect and defend themselves we, as adults, are responsible for ensuring that each child's needs and rights are met
- through play, all children are fully able to contribute to their own growth and development apart from the help and guidance elicited from their adult caregivers. Play enables them to discover and understand themselves and their world.
Program Outline:
Our program and curriculum are designed to provide
experiences to enhance your child's physical, intellectual, social and emotional
development. Children learn through play and need to develop at their own pace.
They discover wayss to cope with tasks, master skills, gain confidence in their
decisions and most of all, have fun!
Your child will have opportunities to participate in a
variety of activities such as: arts & crafts, audio listening centre, block
play, computer centre, dramatic play, music & movement, playdough, sand and
water play, science & social studies, table toys & puzzles.
The children have time to explore these activities in the
Preschool's Learning Centres as well as time to participate in a group circle
time, library time and snack time within our daily program. Field trips and/or
special events are also planned for each month.
