Learning & Growing
The preschool program at Play & Learn, licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is a carefully planned, hands-on program that keeps children actively involved. Using the thematically-based ‘High Reach’ Curriculum, certified teachers encourage growth in all areas: physical, social/emotional, communication/language and cognitive. Preschoolers learn letters and sounds, colors and shapes, and number concepts, all within a fun and pressure-free environment. We encourage independence and confidence in taking care of belongings, dressing, eating and socializing. Sample themes for preschoolers include: ‘All about Me,’ ‘In the Neighborhood,’ ‘Five Senses,' and ‘Holidays Around the World.’ The curriculum encourages family participation, further reinforcing concepts and skills.
Play & Learn preschoolers can choose from a variety of developmentally-appropriate learning centers as they begin to make choices and gain independence. Music and gym specialists visit monthly, adding to the variety of stimulating activities. Computers in every preschool classroom are used daily. Optional computer classes taught by certified teachers from Computer Tots® are also available. Introductory Spanish, outdoor exercise and making friends all add up to fun for 3 and 4 year-old children at Play & Learn.
