ReadySetGrow Program Details

Arts & Crafts

We have a creative program including open ended painting, sculpting, coloring and various other crafts for all ages.  In open ended art, the child is encouraged to freely express themselves without boundaries.  Our art program is designed to develop gross and fine motor skills and build self-esteem.  A wide variety of materials are used in creating their works of art.  All materials are non toxic.  Play dough and sculpting materials are primarily organic.  Art work will either be immediately sent home with the children or will be proudly placed on display in the play areas for a period of time, then sent home. 

Cooking

The children are involved in cooking projects at least once a week.  We pick a project and each child adds ingredients and/or stirs.  The children will later eat their creations during snack time.  All ages are involved.  Projects develop skills in following directions, problem solving, self-esteem, and creativity.

Computer Skills

Various learning and development programs and games are used to assist in developing the child's coordination and thinking skills. 

Music & Dance

Your child will enjoy participating in sing along, interactive singing, and playing along with rhythm instruments.

Reading

Several techniques, including storytelling, flannel board acting, puppetry, and creative play are employed to interactively enhance and illustrate a story's meaning.  Children are encouraged to participate and use their imagination to bring the stories to life.

Dramatic Play

We use various "pretend play" sets to assist in developing communication, language, self esteem, and social skills.  Pretend play units include doctor, restaurant, fireman, construction worker, and police.  New units are added regularly.

Exercise & Outdoor Play

We consider exercise an important part of  growth and development.  Our program includes dancing and aerobics in addition to free form outdoor play time (weather permitting).  Neighborhood nature walks are also considered an essential part of our program.

Circle Time

Songs, games with letters and numbers, group activities, sharing, problem solving, updating the calendar and weather forecaster.  All activities are designed to promote and develop logic, language, cognitive, social skills, self esteem, gross and fine motor skills, following directions, and cooperation.

Foreign Language

The children are introduced to basic Spanish through computer software, song, and games.  Languages basics are being taught.

Show -n- Tell

Show and Tell will take place on Wednesday of every week.  Children are encouraged to bring in one of their favorite things and tell the class about it.  All items should be properly labeled and for safety sake, please do not allow your child to bring in glass objects, pets, valuables, or breakable items.
