Kaleidoscope Early Education Program
K.E.E.P.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays

9 a.m. – 12 noon

Kaleidoscope’s preschool teachers utilize several curriculum guides and a number of excellent teacher resource materials designed especially for 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds to provide a well-rounded early education program. The preschool curriculum is carefully designed for three-year-olds and four-year-olds with the primary goals of fostering mental, physical, social, and emotional development through fine and performing arts instruction and related venues. The program curriculum is constantly being expanded to provide individual and group instruction as well as opportunities to demonstrate developing skills, talents, and abilities. Each child will have the opportunity to explore a variety of materials including paint, crayons, markers, modeling compound, glue, etc. Puzzles, blocks, games, and other manipulatives will also be fully explored. Together, children will enjoy stories, poems, finger-plays, videos, and books. They will learn to respond rhythmically to music, to sing a variety of songs, and will have opportunities for listening to music. Children will learn simple choreography and dance routines. All will have the opportunity to perform skits, mini-plays, and thematic drama presentations. Sharing, taking turns, planning, working, thinking, and reasoning are among the many life skills addressed. Also, good health and hygiene habits will be fostered.
