Academics

Language and literacy are two of our primary focuses for academics in the Blue Bird classroom. We also begin establishing number literacy for children in this preschool program. Here are just a few of the goals we establish and work on at Adventures in Learning:

Language:

Speaking in 4-6 word sentences
Use correct pronouns — I, You, Me, He, She
Understand and ask questions
Identify at least 10 familiar objects
Recognizing phonics (letter sounds)

Literacy:

Describe actions in pictures (The girl is reading her book)
Recognize own name in print
Begin tracking from left to right (print orientation)
Understand opposites

Math:

Begin counting to 10
Recognize 4-5 written numerals
Count up to 3-5 objects
Understand the concept of “one

Cognitive Development

Color and shape recognition, matching skills, and categorizing objects are all practiced in the Blue Bird classroom. These are important examples of cognitive development that build a great foundation for their academic future. Additionally, we work on physical development, such as gross motor coordination (balancing, running, jumping, etc.). Drawing human figures, copying different kinds of lines, tracing letters, and zipping/unzipping are all cognitive focuses in this program. It might seem like fun and games, but these activities play a vital role in overall growth!

Self-Help & Social-Emotional Growth

It’s important for every person to be independent, but to also be able to communicate and interact with others in a positive manner. Much of what we know as adults are learned behaviors that we were taught as children. For this reason, our childcare and preschool center is the perfect place for your child to get exposure and practice in both their self-help and social-emotional skills. Children in this program will continue growing in the following areas:

Following two-step directions (zip up your coat and come to the door)
Sharing willingly
Attempting to resolve conflicts with words
Saying goodbye to Mom and Dad and switching focus to a task
Beginning to make friends and play cooperatively
Participates in clean-up time
Communicating with adults and children

These are some examples of what you can expect your child to learn in our 3-year-old program. Visit this page to see an even more-complete list of what we work on!

“As a working mom, child care is one of my most important assets, and I can say with absolute confidence that at AIL, I have invested wisely. My children have learned so much during their time at AIL that I could not possibly write it all down.”
