Program Philosophy
The Philosophy behind the Ready, Set, Learn! Preschool program is that Prekindergarten children require exposure to social interaction in a classroom setting, interaction with a teacher, educational play, daily structure and academics to not only prepare them for Kindergarten but equip them with the tools to excel.
Social skills that your child will acquire throughout the program:
- social self confidence
- student teacher interaction
- communication
- making individual/group choices
- playing cooperatively
- problem solving
Academic basics they will work on:
- recognizing/naming shapes
- recognizing/naming colors
- recognizing/naming numbers
- recognizing/naming letters of alphabet
- recognizing/printing their name
- and many others
Fine Motor Skills include:
- gluing
- cutting
- holding a pencil
- eye hand coordination
- and many others
Gross Motor Skills include:
- gym time
- outside time
At RSL Preschool we strongly believe that the academic and social ability of preschool age children is grossly underestimated in most programs and in Canada overall when compared to European countries. We are committed to changing these misconceptions with our fun, stimulating, academic based program. It is also our belief that preschool programs held in a school environment, as opposed to an off site location, give children added confidence entering Kindergarten as they have already participated for one/two years in the large school structure.
