Philosophy / Mission Statement
At
the Three Bears Preschool the staff and children work together to create a warm and
relaxed child oriented environment in a happy, safe place where he/she can enjoy
and develop his/her potential through play to explore, discover, use his/her
imagination and have fun!
We provide space in which to grow,
freedom within limits, material with which to create and love for individuals.
Your child will be given every opportunity to grow in all stages of development
- physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
Program
The program is designed to meet the many
needs of your child. Group time gives your child the opportunity to think and
grow intellectually. We explore rhythm and music, experiments in science, listen
to and act our stories, create with a range of art materials. Occasionally
children will take part in making their own snacks. We help your child's
emotional development by providing drama experience where he/she can act out
feelings via puppets, housekeeping corner or other areas which help him/her
express emotions that he/she may otherwise not feel free to express. Your
child's physical development can be divided into two groups: large and small
muscles. The development of both of these muscle groups is important. When the
weather permits we spend time outdoors to help develop the large muscles, and
the small muscle development comes from using pegboards, puzzles, threading,
pasting, paint and pencils and many other activities that encourage eye/hand
coordination. Our program will help your child learn and grow at his/her own
speed. With his/her friend your child can share the joy of discovery and take
pride in accomplishments. These are our goals for the children in our care. We
hope your experience with our School will be a very fulfilling and a happy one.
