Objectives for your Preschool Child
Below you will find a list of some of the objectives your child will be experiencing throughout our school year. Please keep in mind that this list is not set in stone, each child will progress at his/her own pace. This is merely a guideline that we incorporate into our curriculum.
If you have any specific goals that you would like to add to our curriculum, please do no hesitate to speak to one of our preschool teachers. We appreciate any feedback that you may have. Your child’s well being is important to us and we want everyone (children and parents) to feel comfortable in our classroom!
