early childhoodCURRICULUM GUIDEWyoming Seminary’s Early Childhood program is the beginning of a formal educational journeyof growth and development. We look at each of our children as individuals--recognizing anddeveloping their learning strengths. Learned concepts become hands-on, individual works. We guidethem at this early age to be respectful, innovative, independent, enthusiastic, life-long learners.Our Early Childhood programs are tailored to challenge the child ages 18 months through six.The class sizes are small and the learning environments are modified appropriately for these ages.TODDLERPRESCHOOLPRE-KINDERGARTENKINDERGARTEN• Learns how the world works• Introduces independence• Promotes self-discovery• Builds relationships outside of family• Develops language skills• Fosters self-esteem and confidencein their own abilities• Provides the foundation needed toexcel in our Preschool Program• Allows young minds toexplore new ideas• Encourages children to makediscoveries about themselves andtheir relationships with others• Develops a lifelong love of learning• Provides an environment in whichyoung children reach developmentalmilestones at their own pace and intheir own way• Provides the foundation needed toexcel in our Pre-Kindergarten Program• Provides opportunities to grow andlearn in an enriching environment• Develops independence• Provides unique learning experiences• Meets the many different abilitiesof children• Encourages children to work andplay independently or in a group• Instills respect for others andthe community• Provides the foundation needed toexcel in our Kindergarten Program• Strengthens independence• Encourages greater responsibilityfor self• Fosters intrinsic motivation• Provides opportunities for interactingwith a variety of materials that promoteabstract thinking and deductive reasoning• Implements contracts allowingchildren to be in control of theirlearning which results in a sense ofpride and accomplishment• Provides the foundation needed toexcel in our First GradeTODDLER SPECIALSPRESCHOOL SPECIALSPRE-KINDERGARTEN SPECIALSKINDERGARTEN SPECIALS• Library, gym, music and art• Library, gym, music and art• Library, gym, music, art, dance,swim and Spanish• Library, gym, music, art, dance,swim and Spanish /French/Mandarin
