Mission Statement
Peninsula Preschool is a school that provides a safe and loving environment where children are free to play and learn. Our teachers honor the spirit of each child and present academic opportunities through play, exploration, problem solving, and creativity. Children are encouraged to think independently, pursue their natural curiosities, and embrace their abilities.
Curriculum
The philosophy behind our curriculum is that young children learn best by doing. Learning isn't just repeating what is said; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in.
During the preschool years, by using materials such as blocks, children learn about sizes, shapes, colors and weight, and they notice the relationships between things. In dramatic play and art, children are learning that one object can represent another - the beginning of symbolic thinking. With our small manipulative games they are learning to group objects into categories, to match and classify, and to coordinate their hands and eyes. At the sensory table, they learn cause and effect, weights and balance, sharing with others, and that it's okay and fun to explore new tactile materials. During music, they learn to participate cooperatively, to think creatively, to imagine and perform comfortably.
Play provides the foundation for academic learning.
