Pre-school for 4 Year-Olds
We offer three programs for 4 year olds: a morning transitional program and a morning and afternoon pre-K program. Our 4 year old programs provide more advanced activities, including more emphasis on writing and letter recognition, time for individual reading, and more advanced group activities.
Our daily routine for our 4 year old programs involve a wide range of activities: creative play, arts and crafts, music, science, games, blocks, books, fine-motor activities, gross-motor activities and outdoor play. Children are taught various social skills (table manners, sharing, etc.) and are also encouraged to think and play together as well as independently.
Themes and activities planned by the staff are described in a bi-weekly notice posted on each class bulletin board and distributed in the children's cubbies
Each class spends a half hour each week in music class, and a half hour every other week in creative movement. Each class spends time outside every day, weather permitting.
Our Lunch Bunch program is available for our morning and afternoon students. The morning students can attend from 11:30-12:15 while our afternoon students can attend from 11:40-12:30 Monday-Thursday. ECDC also offers an extended day program on Thursday and Fridays from 11:30-2:30 which all students are welcome to attend.
