Little Genius Hands On
Curriculum:

I would like to welcome you to ACW Pre-School program. At ACW each child is given the opportunity to explore their environment and given the time they need to learn at their own pace. ACW works with all children in circle time each day and by using fun teaching techniques the children learn through play. ACW goal is to have all children registered to master as much or all of the curriculum by the age of five years so they will be prepared for kindergarten. As you can never start your child to early the best age to start your child in my pre-school program is two years of age so they may have the full three years of education. Parents are given an online report card link so they may be able to view their child's updated reports as they progress throughout the calendar year. Parents will also always know how their child is advancing because your child's work sheets are sent home monthly with a progress report so you have the opportunity to explore their writing and critical thinking skills. ACW will take field trips throughout the year so your child will experience the areas of Social Studies and Science. We will explore the Farm in the fall, Police Department, Fire Department and more as the year continues.

Fine Motor
|
As children refine their motor
skills, they are able to help themselves by completing daily activities
independently. For example children between the ages of 2 and 3 are able
to put on and take off simplistic articles of clothing. They are able to
manipulate clothing with zippers, use spoons, string together beads with
large holes, and open doors with doorknobs. When children are between the
ages of 3 and 4, they are able to manipulate clothing with larger buttons,
use scissors to cut paper, and are able to copy simple lined shapes using
a pencil. At 4 to 5 years of age, children are able to dress and undress
themselves without assistance. They are also able to manipulate a fork,
and have gained the dexterity to cut around shapes with a pair of
scissors. And by age 6, a child is able to cut softer foods with a knife
and is able to tie his or her own shoes. Because all children develop at
their own rate, the ages given are not an exact timeline.

As a preschooler, the child does not need any help standing alone or moving quickly. At 3 years of age, children enjoy simple movements, such as hopping, jumping, and running back and forth, just for the sheer delight of performing these activities. At age 4, children continue to do the same actions as they did at age 3, but further their moving. They are beginning to be able to go down the stairs with one foot on each step. At 5 years of age, they become even more adventurous. During middle and late childhood, children's motor development becomes much smoother and more coordinated than it was in early childhood. As they age, children become able to have more control over their bodies and have an increased attention span. Having a child in an active childcare, pre-school or sport can help them with their coordination, as well as some social aspects.
