Echo Falls Preschool - $500 Credit toward 3, 4, or 5 Day Tuition

Echo Falls Preschool offers a supportive and nurturing developmentally appropriate environment in which children can maximize their competence levels and growth potentials. The program has a strong emphasis on promoting children’s social/emotional development, physical development, and cognitive/language development. Creative expression is encouraged at all times. Special attention is given to each child’s development level, and each child is respected for his/her individuality.

Children are considered active learners at Echo Falls Preschool and they are given many opportunities to explore through direct physical contact with the environment. The program offers a ‘theme-based’ curriculum in which a specific theme is explored through discovery-oriented learning centers such as: the ‘everything table’, the ‘discovery’ table, the art area, the cooking area, and the reading area. Aspects of the chosen theme are also discussed and focused upon during ‘meeting time’. The weekly theme may also be reflected in the daily music and movement and art activities as well as in the children’s dramatic play. Other ongoing activities are block building, painting, and sensory  play. Fine and gross motor skills are practiced and mastered through puzzles and small manipulatives, and through climbing, running, balancing, and swinging during outdoor play. Problem solving and negotiating, following directions and routines, respecting limits and other’s rights, learning self-help skills and autonomy, and sharing and learning how to ‘be’ and ‘have’ a friend are only some of the many goals of the program.
