Caring Connections with Preschool
Play is the Way! Play is so essential in brain development, and our youngest Cheetahs here at Central Elementary are provided with so much opportunity to play. Through play, the children learn language, math, literacy, science and critical thinking. Our Structured Communication, Social Behavior preschool classrooms have prepared environments which include Kitchen Center, Block Center, Library, Sensory Area, Literacy Center, Calm Corner that invite the students to develop curiosity, imagination, concentration, problem-solving, following directions/routine and collaboration. Research shows that play is the natural way young brains learn and grow. The preschool teachers are committed to providing a positive, language rich, and structured learning environment every single day to develop love for learning for our youngest Cheetahs.
Glowing and Growing in STEM
In the STEM: Engineering & Robotics enrichment wheel class, students have the opportunity to explore and play while learning about a variety of science, technology, engineering, and math concepts. Below are some examples:
Elements of design
Potential and kinetic energy
Newton’s laws of motion
Programming/ executing code
Electrical circuits
And more!
Students in STEM: Engineering & Robotics are encouraged to be empathetic collaborators. They are expected to work together, share, and take turns. They are challenged to understand and create a solution for problems others might have. We talk a lot about how when you’re thinking of others and working together to solve a problem, creative solutions are always within reach!
