Pre School Philosophy

Crabapple Academy has firmly resolved to consider the strengths of many curricula and philosophies and to incorporate the best of each. Our curriculum is theme based. Each week a different theme is incorporated into every part of the day. The children are exposed to many areas of interest as well as a large variety of songs, stories, art activities and vocabulary (both English and Spanish). We continually fine tune our program as we learn new ways to accomplish our goals for the children who are entrusted to our care. We believe that young children learn best in an environment that has a balance of teacher-directed activity and childrens free choice activities.

Our free play activities include blocks, role-playing, art, manipulatives and books.
This center/free play time also includes teacher-facilitated, small group activities such as math games, science activities, pre-reading, and pre-writing activities. The small groups are designed to give each child a chance to participate in creative activities such as cooking, carpentry, crafts, puppetry and motor skills. Other activities are planned for the whole group such as circle time, story time and music.

Our art activities are child centered. The children do their own age appropriate art work. Our youngest children enjoy messy art that involves experiencing different colors and textures. The process is important; the product is not. As the children mature, they become more purposeful while working on their creations. Finally, by their PreKindergarten year, most of the children are doing representational drawings and crafts that require fine motor skills. Motor skills both large and small are introduced and practiced in class and on the playground. Outdoor games are selected that include motor skills that are age appropriate.

We respect the role of parents as their childs most important teachers and decision makers. We strive to include parents in decision making and to keep them well informed about their childs progress.
