Celebrating 10 years
Our Mission
Learning Through Play
Social Development
Children will learn to respect one another, to solve conflicts with their peers and to work collaboratively in a safe environment.
Emotional Development
Children are encouraged to learn at their own pace. Individual expression and feelings of self-worth are heightened when children are given opportunities to feel successful and valued.
Language Development
Physical Development
Gross motor skills are developed through indoor and/or outdoor physical activities and are part of the daily routine. Children will engage in age-appropriate physical activities and appreciate how keeping active relates to staying healthy. Fine motor skills are honed during most classroom learning opportunities.
Intellectual Development
Basic numeracy, literacy and science skills will evolve from discovery through play. Students will begin to learn to reason, to work collaboratively, to think creatively and to use the critical thinking skills needed for learning in the 21st Century.
Our Philosophy
Our teachers will guide your child through a year of theme-based units and fun-filled activities. Your child will be immersed in a setting designed for discovery through play learning with curriculum updates to include science and technology suited to their developmental stage. Your child will be involved in a dynamic social setting with many new friends and will develop the skills, attitudes and knowledge necessary for Kindergarten readiness. Smiling, learning and growing … that's what Brookview Community Preschool is all about!
Language and vocabulary are nurtured as children engage in attentive listening, extended conversation and interaction with their teachers and peers as they discover together. The children are exposed to many stories appropriate to their learning. Early literacy, including letter recognition, sounds and phonics emerge through these classroom activities.
