PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

Taking Small Steps Toward Big Futures!

Start your child on the path to a successful school experience with the Roselle Park District’s preschool program where we take small steps toward big futures. Programs for two, three, and four-year-old children are designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition to Kindergarten and beyond.

Provide Your Child With:

• Activities that are developmentally appropriate, where children are encouraged to learn according to their individual needs and interests • Diverse experiences, materials, opportunities, and time for children to develop socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically • A safe and nurturing environment where children explore, experiment, manipulate, and use their natural curiosity to solve problems and learn about the world around them • Experiences and activities that foster a child’s self-esteem, self-trust, and positive feelings toward learning • Opportunities for children to develop independence, and a desire to be self-motivated, responsible learners • A learning experience that meets the needs of both the children and their parents

Preschool Meet The Teacher Days (MI) Wednesday, August 31 & Thursday, September 1

Parents of preschool participants are encouraged to bring their child on these days to meet their teacher, play in the classroom, and get familiar to what will be their new surroundings. Please bring your child on the day (either Wednesday or Thursday) that he/she would normally be attending, at any time that would be during their normal class time to stop in meet their teachers and see their new classroom.

Curriculum emphasizes a nurturing atmosphere and an introduction to the educational process which is inviting and encouraging. Teachers assist children in experiencing a positive separation from home, provide opportunities to work with various media forms, and help develop listening and language skills. Appropriate activities include opportunities to improve gross and fine motor development, listening to simple stories, basic art projects, and working with toys, puzzles, and blocks.

Little Learners

Curriculum exposes the children to structure, routine, and following directions within a schedule. Beginning concepts in reading, writing, and math; encouraging growth in social development, and promoting an awareness of health and safety are also a class focus. Appropriate activities include providing a healthy outlet for imaginary and dramatic play, working with manipulatives, listening to stories, having special visitors, going on field trips, and opportunities for students to express themselves.

Curriculum provides further development of the educational concepts in literature, math, and science, as well as social, emotional, and physical growth. Activities provide a print rich environment that stimulates the development of language and literacy skills in meaningful context. There is a greater variety of experiences to promote interest in the community and the world outside the student’s own. There are more concentrated fine motor skills such as writing letters and numbers, cutting, gluing, painting, and using manipulatives. There are many opportunities for making choices, developing problem solving skills, becoming independent thinkers, and developing confidence. Children also have visitors and go on field trips to enrich their studies of various themes.
