Your Early Preschooler`s Day at Little Leprechaun
In both of our early preschool classrooms, children spend their day in a more structured early education program that includes an introduction to academics through play and creative expression. Early preschool provides continued development of independent self-help skills such as eating, dressing and toileting with an introduction to math, science,and computers.
Daily and weekly lesson plans are geared toward readiness skills and self-expression that are appropriate for this age level. Teachers promote reading and math readiness, art, science, music, computers, and practical life. We expand Sign Language instruction to include key words from weekly themes, and introduce French as a Second Language instruction.

the day. Your Day Sheet will include what and how much your child ate for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner, detail on potty habits, and whether or not your child napped that day.we also let you know what we learned about in circle time, what we read and sang that day, and with which friends your child played. Children love discussing their day with parents and siblings and you can share their excitement and incorporate new skills and themes into home life.
At this age, our teachers will maintain a portfolio for your child and collect samples of their writing, art work and copies of progress reports. The portfolios are kept in your child's room so that you can browse through hem any time. When a student transitions into the next classroom, their portfolio is sent home.
Being at work doesn’t mean being completely cut off from your child’s activities during the day.You can request daily activity emails that will come throughout the day to let you know how much your child ate or slept and how they did with their potty habits. Stay in touch all day long!
