PS-Art

PS-Art

In our Preschool classrooms, art is woven into every area of the curriculum. The focus is on process over product encouraging creativity, experimentation, and joy in making.
Each day, children explore a wide range of materials like tempera, watercolor, glue, paper, and markers. They experiment with collage, drawing, printing, and building, fully immersed in hands-on experiences.
Through this daily engagement, children strengthen motor skills, build confidence, and develop a genuine appreciation for art as a form of expression and exploration.

PS-Math

PS-Math

In Preschool, math comes to life through hands-on exploration and play. Children engage with materials and activities that introduce key concepts like more and less, big and small, shapes, patterns, and colors.
They explore size, quantity, and classification by using real objects, reading counting books, and noticing math in their daily environment. As they sort, compare, and group by attributes like shape, size, and color, they build early number sense and problem-solving skills.
Our approach makes math concrete, engaging, and meaningful laying the groundwork for confident, curious learners.

Library

The library is an essential part of our school community, supporting both academic growth and personal development. It provides a welcoming space where students can explore, collaborate, and access a wide range of resources that enrich their learning experience. By teaching essential library skills, we empower students to engage in independent inquiry, make thoughtful choices about the materials they read, and explore a variety of genres. The library fosters a love of reading while also nurturing critical thinking, digital literacy, and creative expression. As readers, writers, and responsible digital citizens, students use the library to deepen their understanding of the world and themselves.
