Joan Martire – Teacher
PROGRAM: A flexible program with both quiet and vigorous play to
develop social relations, physical co-ordination and body mastery. Discussions
on good health, safety and science as well as stories offer opportunities for
communication, problem solving and language development. Activities with music
and art allow for creativity, appreciation and free expression. Some of the
things we cover are letters, and their sounds, numbers, shapes, colors,
learning to print their name and more. We encourage character development such
as responsibility for their property, sharing, kindness toward others, being
thankful, helpful, truthful, etc. We do seat work to
help children to listen and follow directions. Each child is assigned a small
job to do in class for the day such as tuning on the lights, holding the door
and so on. The aim is to help each child develop a good feeling about him/herself. We hope to enlarge the child’s world and encourage
interests and stimulate a joy of learning in a loving atmosphere.
