Program Overview

Program Overview

The Magnolia School District School Readiness Preschool Program is based on a developmental and multicultural philosophy and does not discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic group identification, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, or mental or physical disability. We believe that all children can learn. Our program is designed to promote early childhood development in all areas of growth, including language, literacy, cognitive, social-emotional, large, and fine motor development. We utilize the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) and California Preschool Learning Foundations and Curriculum Framework to plan instruction.

We provide a structured environment that introduces children to early academic concepts, such as basic literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills. Moreover, children learn important skills like following instructions, working independently, and collaborating with peers.

We foster social and emotional development by providing a nurturing environment that encourages children to interact with their peers, build friendships, and communicate effectively. We incorporate strategies that promote self-regulation and calming techniques to encourage positive behavior and emotional regulation. We also enhance fine and gross motor skills by engaging children in various activities that strengthen their muscles, hand-eye coordination, and overall physical abilities.

Our program prioritizes empowering children to become independent thinkers and confident individuals by fostering self-help skills, decision-making abilities, and problem-solving strategies. We provide a supportive environment that encourages children to take risks, make choices, and learn from both successes and setbacks.

We also cultivate creativity and imagination through art, music, dramatic play, and storytelling, and encourage self-expression, and communication skills. We believe in establishing a foundation for lifelong learning by providing a positive and stimulating early learning experience that fosters a passion for education, curiosity, resilience, and adaptability.
