Preparing for grade school is an important part of child development. They should know what the difference is from good and bad, along with the beginnings of color, number, and shape differentiation. Our preschool curriculum is created to help them get ready for kindergarten and beyond.

The preschool class is designed to prepare children for Kindergarten academically as well as socially and emotionally. At Ethel’s Educational Express Child Development, the class size is kept small to provide individual attention as well as small group work, as most children learn best in this type of environment.

The preschool education is developed to build the foundation for reading by having a print rich environment, working on phonemic awareness as well as literacy comprehension. Our curriculum focuses on writing formation and using start and stop points. Art, movement and music are a part of the daily routine as well.

Social skills including, interacting with others, work habits and self help skills will continue to be developed. The ultimate goal of our childcare center is to help build confidence and increase child development to better prepare them for Kindergarten.
