Preschool Fours Program

In the Preschool Fours Program special attention is paid to children's emerging competence in new and more complex play built on earlier experiences. Learning occurs as a result of activities involving trial and error, manipulation, and repetition. Cognitive, motor and physical skills are developed through active exploration and interaction with materials, adults and other children. Natural curiosity, insight and eagerness to solve problems motivate the children to participate. Interpersonal problems are addressed by more sophisticated means such as, cooperating and negotiating.

There are three full time teachers employed who are primarily responsible for the care and education of sixteen four year olds.
