Bellwood Tender Care in Newport News, VA

Prek Description

Our Goals -
To grow in independence
To help children learn to do things for themselves and to make decisions and choices.
To learn to give & share, as well as to receive affection
We call that trust, or bonding, and it calls for consistent and respectful caregivers.
To learn to get along with others
A child learns what works in groups, what taking turns means, what thinking about others means.
To develop self-control & self discipline
Recent research shows a strong relationship between positive outcome as adolescents & adults and the experience of making choices in the early childhood years.
To learn non-sexist human roles
Avoiding sex stereotypes is an important aspect of self-concept & self-esteem. To learn non-sexist human values means we help boys & girls to be competent in the kitchen & the car.
To begin to understand their bodies
Good health practices, hygiene, and nutrition are a basic aspect of the preschool experience.
To learn & practice large and small motor skills
It's the best time to start those lifelong good habits and joys!
To begin to understand & control the physical world
We want children to be responsive to the world around them, to have an understanding of cause/effect, to be able to reason, to be curious, to find and use information.
