PRESCHOOL 3 PROGRAM

(3 years)

As your child embarks on their academic journey, Spring Hill Academy’s Preschool program provides a nurturing environment for them to take their first steps towards academic learning. With the implementation of our new STREAMin³ curriculum, your child will commence their exploration of language and mathematical skills. This is achieved through a blend of child-led learning and deliberate teacher-guided lessons, in addition to fostering social and emotional skills through engaged activities within our daily classroom environment.

Our STREAMin³ curriculum provides a strong foundation for our preschoolers, nurturing their growth in various areas through introduction to alphabet and phonetic awareness, writing and developing fine motor skills, increasing vocabulary development, and more books and stories with their teacher! The curriculum also begins introductory math skills, such as: being able to count from 1-30, recognizing numbers from the number line, and sequencing numbers in the proper order. They’ll also be able to produce many arts and crafts projects with their newfound knowledge of shapes and colors and improved motor skills!

Preschool programs will also have more structural daily routines to give children more time for creative arts, music, natural science, technology, and personal care to promote healthy habits. Teachers will create guided lesson plans to allow children ample time to explore each subject and may vary the duration of each lesson based on the interests of the classroom.

Preschoolers also have more social capabilities to independently problem-solve small conflicts between their peers, which creates stronger relationships between each other and with their teachers. Children in the Preschool program are also involved in more interactive play, which develops their social-emotional growth and allows the children to independently develop sharing and compromising skills. Creating this self-motivating environment stemming from independent conflict resolution builds the start of school engagement and a motivation for life-long learning.

*Please note that Spring Hill offers two separate classrooms, with two different Preschool programs so children moving from the 2-year old Preschool program will transition into the 3 year old Preschool program. Our teachers will continue to foster growth and progress by allowing each Preschool program to operate at the level needed for your child's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development!
