Pre-K Classes at Our Greenville, NC Daycare Center

Our 5-star preschool program includes a fun, educational Pre-K class that is designed to help prepare children to start school while still fostering their growth and development through play, discovery, and fun!

Pre-K Curriculum at Our 5-Star Preschool

We use The Creative Curriculum in our Pre-K classrooms, a research-based early child care and education curriculum designed to help kids learn and grow emotionally and socially, as well as includes child-directed activities that address language, literacy, math, and science. Our Pre-K teachers also use the SRA/McGraw-Hill’s World of Wonders Reading Curriculum to teach phonics.

Each classroom has lesson plans posted each week with individualized lesson plans. Every activity and lesson is specifically tailored to the needs of each child in the classroom.

Literacy and Language in Pre-K

Children in Pre-K are growing rapidly in language and emerging literacy skills. To support their language development and promote reading and writing skills, our teachers:

Promote the use of more complex sentences.
Encourage children to join in group conversations.
Help children use props and picture prompts to tell familiar and favorite stories.
Teach children how to recognize their names and other familiar names in print.
Help children learn to write their names.
Begin teaching sight words to support early reading comprehension.
Encourage children to create stories on their own through drawing, dictating them to the teachers, and using writing prompts that are based on weekly interest areas.

Our Pre-K class also takes part in the “Raise a Reader” program, a state-sponsored program in which the teachers work closely with students to embrace reading new books shared between home and school throughout the year.

Integrating Math into Our Pre-K Curriculum

Our teachers encourage children to use math in practical ways through their everyday life. To encourage exploration and comprehension of math concepts, our teachers provide the children with opportunities to learn how to:

Count and compare quantities.
Match patterns and create their own unique patterns.
Set the classroom table, counting items to make sure there’s plenty of tableware to go around.
Talk about the sequence of events, from beginning to end.
Name and write numbers 0-30.
Use location and position words, including above, below, beside, and between.
Measure using scales and rulers.
Cook simple recipes to promote hands-on math and science.

Fostering Scientific Curiosity in Our 5-Star Preschool Program

By providing the children with hands-on opportunities to learn and understand scientific concepts, they get excited and engaged. Our teachers promote and encourage this continued desire to understand the world around them by:

Encouraging and teaching how to sort objects based on different qualities.
Plan age-appropriate scientific experiments, including mixing baking soda and vinegar to observe the reaction, planting seeds and predicting and documenting growth, and using colored water to understand primary colors and create secondary colors.
Turning classroom objects into simple machines to enhance play activities.
Welcoming guests from local museums and nature parks to the classroom to bring in new items, animals, and objects to explore and learn about.

My husband and I signed our daughter up for daycare at Children's Campus in a desperate need. We had the opportunity to tour the center which we instantly fell in love with everything about it. Since our daughter has been attending Children's Campus she has done nothing but flourish in development. All of her teachers that she had been with since being here have been the sweetest and most caring, and that does not stop with the teachers as all of the staff at this center share constant love for the children. This is all evident by always being greeted with cheerful smiles, as well as witnessing everyone else being treated the same.

By spending time in my children's classrooms, I have witnessed the teachers' dedication and passion for working with children. Each day provides a stimulating experience in an atmosphere that fosters learning, as well as development of social, emotional, and gross and fine motor skills, all of which helps boost self-esteem. Each day when I drop them off I am confident Children's Campus provides a loving, nurturing , and attentive environment where my kids can play, learn, grow, and thrive!
