PRESCHOOL

Here at Tree Hill Learning Center we create our own original preschool curriculum. Our goal is to implement a program which provides ample opportunities for meaningful and comprehensive learning. We look to the children's interests, our understanding of educational theory, and individual developmental needs to guide us as we make our curriculum plans each month. The result is a relevant and dynamic program tailored to each unique group of children.

​

It may not always look like learning in preschool, we incorporate a lot of play-based learning into our program. Research shows that children do the most learning during play and we believe that this shouldn't stop after the toddler years. However if you watch closely you will see the progression of developmentally appropriate materials, the rotation of materials to keep the children's interest, and teachers challenging kids to experiment. Of course we're also preparing our friends for kindergarten, so they participate in large and small group activities designed for kindergarten readiness.

WILLOWS

This class serves as our very first preschool room, children may start in this room as early as two-and-a-half.  Our teachers provide a calm and welcoming environment in which the children can learn and thrive.

​

Our Willows are an adventurous, curious group who are learning how to work together towards common goals, how to work independently or with a teacher on a given task, and how to communicate and express themselves to convey more than their basic needs. 

​

Children may or may not be fully potty trained when they enter this classroom. Our teachers work with parents to complete the potty training journey, and we have a dedicated bathroom within the classroom to help aide this process. 

​

Willows Goals:
  • Potty Training
  • Clean-up
  • Self-help (jackets and shoes)
  • Intro to preschool (ABCs, counting, colors)
