Fun & Creativity
Art
Art allows for creative expression, practicing fine motor skills, and sensory experiences.
Art centers provide different sensory and discovery experiences. In art and creative expression, there is never a right or a wrong way.
We teach children that art can be used as an outlet for sharing and communicating ideas and feelings.
Senses
In early childhood we learn so much through our senses.
We provide an environment full of different opportunities to use all of our senses. Especially music! From our hand washing song to songs about loving ourselves.
Music and sensory exploration also promotes body movement and we use it as a tool to help with regulating our body and mind.
Movement
Movement and physical activity is important for helping children grow healthy and strong.
Our center is designed with large open spaces and indoor and outdoor equipment that allows children to practice and develop gross motor skills.
Canguro Care Learning Center also uses movement, specifically yoga and stretching as a part of nap time routines.
Language
The early introduction to languages enhances thinking and language skill development. Exposing children to multiple languages promotes brain development and a greater understanding of self and others. In our preschool classroom teachers do speak both English and Spanish to help children prepare for Kindergarten.
Outside Play
Children will play outside every day as long as weather permits. When the weather is nice, we will move learning activities outdoors. Outside play provides sensory experiences, play, and development experiences. Outside children are encouraged to move, ask questions, guess outcomes, and try, try, try. Our outdoor space is fenced in so all children are safe. We have multiple mud kitchens, sandboxes, play structures, dramatic play, and much more!
