Highlands Early Education Program 2008 - 09

“Where children love to learn”

The Highlands Early Education Program (EEP) is community based and committed to creating a positive safe environment where your child’s learning will thrive, be nurtured and loved. We find new and innovative ways to teach curriculum, foster development and ignite your child’s imagination. Our licensed program cultivates the growth of your child’s self-esteem, socialization, early education and the continuous developmental experience. The understanding, knowledge & skills of our teachers harbor a warm, loving and inviting atmosphere for your child which will raise your comfort level and ensure your peace of mind.

We believe that children learn best through play; that is why our program is developed around theme based curriculum, lesson plans and activities that teach fundamental concepts. For example, each week we follow a specific letter of the alphabet and use it as a springboard for science, art, movement, math and language activities. Other weeks follow curriculum focusing on the senses, recycling and protecting our world, our bodies, eating healthy and architecture week. This medium encourages children to express themselves in areas of social, intellectual, emotional and physical growth. The importance of muscle development is emphasized in our program through climbing on structures on the playground, digging in the sandbox, running, riding tricycles and using the upper body for physically active and body strengthening experience. The Early Education Program focuses on hands-on learning activities both in the classroom and outside that provide each child with the opportunity to learn at his/her level by their own tactile experience.

Ages 2.5-3.75: The Poppies “Oh, the experiences I will have” This program promotes your child’s creativity, independence and imagination; socialization, language and reading readiness are all incorporated into hands-on daily activities. Children are encouraged and begin to identify colors, shapes while also learning to recognize letters of the alphabet. Circle time with songs and stories are incorporated into the daily routine. It is our definitive goal to instill a joy of learning in your child, positive socialization experience and development of personal confidence to try and be exposed to new challenges that will result in future successes.

Ages 3.76-5: The Willows “Onwards and Upwards: Oh the places I will go” This age appropriate program brings together many foundations built in earlier years of structure, independence and exploration. This program emphasizes a wide range of educational activities that promote language arts, reading readiness, motor skills, socialization and science. Our environment promotes creative expression, peer cooperation, conflict resolution and movement activities. Children will learn to both recognize and write their own name, participate in daily circle time and create lasting friendships. Parent conferences will be held twice during the school year in order for both the teachers and parents to see the development and growth of their child from start to finish. Our staff provides a personalized experience that will prepare your child with the necessary skills for their elementary educational experience.

CLASSROOM READINESS: Age does not always determine a child’s learning scope; classroom readiness can be evaluated by trained teachers to establish your child’s level for the Early Education Program. Each group will be separated for age appropriate and developmental curriculum, 2.5-3.75 year olds & 3.76-5 year olds. The two separate groups will come together for snack and playground time. All children must be potty trained to be in our program.
