Our classrooms use the research based Creative Curriculum for Preschool, 5th Edition.  This curriculum promotes school readiness by combining an enriched classroom, teacher-directed learning activities, and child-led free play. Your child’s explorations and learning progress will be documented through weekly snapshots and a portfolio system. At periodic parent conferences, your child's strengths and developmental goals will be reviewed with you. 

 

There are 10 objectives for learning and development:

• Social-Emotional

• Physical

• Language

• Cognitive

• Literacy

• Mathematics

• Science and Technology

• Social Studies

• The Arts

• English Language Acquisition

​

​

The preschool day begins with Morning Group Time.  This is an important routine for the children where greetings, songs, key concepts and the day’s activities are shared.

​

After Morning Group Time, each classroom has its own unique daily schedule and activities. Daily schedules include time in learning centers, small group time activities, outdoor play, meals, and rest.  

​

Throughout the day in our classrooms you will see lots of book reading, block building, singing, dramatic play, creative art, group discussions, inquiry-based problem solving, and caring teacher-child interactions. The teachers will share images of your child's interests and activities using the Procare mobile app.

Building trusting, meaningful relationships is a foundational principle at Wishview. Interaction with your family both at school and in the community is an effective way to enhance the communication and connectedness between children, parents, and teachers. Annual school-family activities include picnics, parties and parent-teacher conferences.
