Playhouse Preschool offers a developmentally appropriate, process-oriented program for all children ages 18 months to 5 years. There are ten teachers on the staff and we work as a team. We maintain a teacher to child ratio of 1:5 in the preschool and toddler programs. All of the teachers demonstrate a love, acceptance and deep enjoyment of the company of children each day. All teachers have background checks before hiring (C.O.R.I.) and are certified by the Department of Early Education and Care. |

Playhouse Preschool
Our Philosophy
In todays busy world, children need unhurried time to "just be kids and have fun". The preschool years are a precious time in their lives, where their needs for love and acceptance, play and exploration, and making new connections are our priorities.
An important component of our curriculum is the family. We want to get to know all the family members, including pets, and encourage parents to linger during arrival time
Our classroom is divided into approximately eight learning centers:
- Art which includes crafts, play dough, writing, easel work
- House for pretend play and dress up
- Block and Building
- Math, Alphabet, Board games
- Reading corner
- Dramatic play (theme changed monthly)
- Science which includes a water and sensory table (changed monthly)
- Music and movement
- Playground, spacious and fenced in
The children are encouraged to follow their interests and make choices during free play time. We maintain a balance of child directed and teacher directed activities throughout the day.
Program Design
During each session, the children experience structured and unstructured learning opportunities. There is individual time with a teacher as well as small and large group activities. We allow plenty of time for free play so that the children can follow their interests, make choices and complete their plans. Our teachers are on hand to facilitate this process and guide social learning. Transition times are clearly marked so that the children can predict what will happen next and feel secure at school.
Our Main Goals
-Partner with the parents to foster their child's unique development
-Love and acknowledge each child every day
-Guide the family through the separation process
-Build self-esteem and feelings of competency through loving contact and providing stimulating choices
-Support the development of empathy and making friends
-Help children cope with their feelings and use their words to express them
-Encourage childrens' questions and support their initiative to find answers
-Model and help create a community of learners that respects each other and solves problems together
