Preschool Information
General Information
Bethel Preschool’s program is based on the philosophy of developmental learning through discovery. This approach is based on respect for each child as an individual, as well as on sensitivity to each child’s way of learning. Children learn, grow and acquire skills as they play. They increase their creativity and understanding at their own pace. The program offers an integration of developmentally appropriate education, whole language learning, and school readiness to help children feel good about themselves, master new skills, and develop a healthy desire to learn.
Children are natural investigators who learn by playing (as Marie Montessori once said, “Play is the child’s work”). To facilitate this learning process, children are offered a variety of sensory experiences and choices that include interaction with peers and guidance from adults. They learn by touching, experimenting, choosing, talking and negotiating. The preschool curriculum is designed to incorporate learning in all areas of development (cognitive, physical, spiritual, social and emotional) through active involvement in play.
Our Preschool Program offers an integrated curriculum to foster a child’s love of learning and feelings of success in a supportive environment that encourages curiosity and creative thinking.
