To be confirmed by the school: board, curriculum or teaching method, books used and how children are assessed.
How little ones learn
Children of three and four learn by doing, then by talking about what they did. A good preschool day mixes these five areas a little at a time.
- Language and stories. Listening, talking, rhymes, picture books and, later, letter sounds.
- Numbers and shapes. Counting real things, comparing, sorting, simple patterns.
- Hands and art. Crayons, paint, clay, cutting: the hand control writing needs.
- Moving and playing. Running, climbing, dancing, balancing; parents' reviews also mention swimming and skating at the summer camp.
- Getting along. Sharing, waiting, saying sorry, looking after their own things.
