Preschool Program at Harwell School
(3-4 Years)
At Harwell School, we celebrate the remarkable growth and blossoming personalities of preschoolers. Our Preschool Program is thoughtfully designed to provide a nurturing, stimulating environment that supports your child's developing independence, curiosity, and kindergarten readiness from 3 to 4 years of age.
The World of a Preschooler: At 3 to 4 years old, your child is becoming more independent, imaginative, and socially aware. This stage is marked by increased curiosity, a stronger desire to explore their surroundings, and the beginning of more structured thinking. Preschoolers are developing foundational skills in communication, problem-solving, and social interaction, setting the stage for future academic success.
Preschoolers are rapidly developing their cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, and logical thinking. They begin to understand basic concepts like numbers, colors, and shapes, and are able to follow multi-step instructions.
At this age, children are expanding their vocabulary and becoming more adept at expressing their thoughts and ideas. They start to engage in more complex conversations, ask questions, and use language to describe events, people, and feelings.
Preschoolers are learning to navigate social dynamics, developing friendships, and understanding the importance of sharing, cooperation, and empathy. They also start to engage in more cooperative play, where they work together with peers towards a common goal.
Our preschool curriculum is designed to foster a love of learning through play. We provide a rich array of activities that stimulate cognitive, social, and emotional development. Whether it's through building blocks, creative arts, or storytelling, your child will engage in hands-on experiences that encourage exploration and discovery.
We focus on enhancing your child’s language and literacy skills by incorporating a variety of activities such as reading, writing, and verbal communication. Our teachers introduce early literacy concepts in a fun and engaging way, preparing preschoolers for the more formal learning environment of kindergarten.
We help preschoolers develop essential social-emotional skills by creating a supportive environment where they learn to express their feelings, resolve conflicts, and build positive relationships with peers. Our teachers model and reinforce behaviors that promote kindness, empathy, and cooperation.
At Harwell School, we recognize that the preschool years are crucial for laying the foundation for future academic and social success. Our program is tailored to meet the unique needs of preschoolers, providing them with the tools and experiences they need to thrive in a resource-rich environmental. We combine a play-based curriculum with intentional teaching strategies to help your child develop critical thinking, communication, and social skills. Additionally, we introduce interactive S.T.E.M. learning to stimulate curiosity and a love for science and technology from an early age. With our nurturing environment and dedicated educators, your child will be well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in their educational journey.
