This accurately describes whats happening in the PCS Early Childhood classrooms each day. Interested in learning more? We are still enrolling in our 3s & 4s and Kindergarten classes. Email us at [email protected]: When you step into an exemplary pre-K classroom, you see a room organized by a caring, responsive teacher who understands child development. Activity centers are stocked with materials that invite exploration, fire the imagination, require initiative and prompt collaboration. The room hums. In the block area, two girls build a bridge, talking to each other about how to make sure it doesn’t collapse and taking care not to bump into the buildings of children next to them. In an area with materials for make-believe, children enact an elaborate family scenario after resolving who will be the mommy, who will be the grandpa and who will be the puppy. Another group peers through a magnifying glass to examine a collection of pine cones and acorns. On the rug, children lie on their stomachs turning the pages of books they have selected, while at the easel a boy dips his brush into red paint and swoops the paint mostly onto his paper. nytimes/2014/10/22/opinion/the-building-blocks-of-a-good-pre-k.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share&_r=0
