Building Blocks Preschool

About Our Program

Ages: 3-5
Time: 9 AM-12 PM

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

Our preschool program is designed for children ages 3 to 5, focusing on physical, social, intellectual, and creative development. We believe children learn best through play, which helps them communicate, explore, solve problems, and make decisions. Our curriculum, based on Illinois Early Learning Standards, combines free play with teacher-guided activities that introduce letters, numbers, colors, and shapes.

GOALS

The primary goal is for children to learn through socialization and play, while also gaining early reading readiness skills. Our objectives include:

• Fostering security and respect in group settings.
• Establishing routines and encouraging sharing.
• Developing problem-solving skills.
• Promoting responsibility for materials and the environment.
• Ensuring a fun, safe, and positive learning experience.

Our program offers various play areas and materials to support these goals, creating a happy and safe environment for children’s first social experiences.
