Little Lamb's Classroom
In the Little Lamb's Classroom, we have fun with learning! We focus on shaping the minds of your little ones by teaching them shapes, colors, numbers, and phonics. We have a circle time that includes educational songs about the weather, days of the week, and months of the year. We incorporate instruments into our singing to create a fun and interactive environment. Story time is also a part of our daily routine where we read and engage in exciting books as well as learn lessons about God to keep your children inspired to be creative thinkers. They improve their gross motor skills through dancing, age-appropriate exercises, outside play on our playground as well as using the gym equipment (tunnel, trampoline, basketball and climbing blocks). They also improve their fine motor skills through a variety of table time activities such as daily crafts (coloring, finger painting, gluing, peeling of stickers), puzzles, Play-Doh, and moon sand. This class shows children how to be interactive and improve their social skills by learning to play and share with others.
Classroom Goals:
To be attentive to their needs through proper care and love as well as, the "serve and return" interaction between child and adult. Help your children become independent and excel in the classroom. Teach them to eat with proper utensils, drink out of cups, wash hands, and use polite manners. Teach basic sign language as another tool for children to vocalize their needs to encourage thinking, speaking, and communicating.
