PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
St. Paul’s Parent and Me program offers an age appropriate experience for children two years of age one day per week (either on Tuesday or Thursday) for one hour and 30 minutes per class session. We offer a morning session that begins at 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. with the second session beginning at 11:00 - 12:30 p.m. The class structure is such that it gives the child a typical preschool experience in a bite size time frame. During a typical class session your child will be exposed to various activities:
-
Playground Time is structured to develop their gross motor development and motor planning.
-
Circle Time is introduced to increase their attention span and encourage group participation. It also exposes the child to respond to simple directions, uses oral language and builds self confidence and the ability to express themselves, recall songs, stories etc.
-
Toileting Time (although children do not need to be potty trained to participate in this program) this activity teaches simply hygiene and self-help skills.
-
Snack Time gives the child a chance to learn cooperation, waiting for a turn and socialization.
-
Art/ Free-Flow Time Children are exposed to a variety of simple media. They will be able to make choices, decisions and solve problems. Develop eye-hand coordination and use their 5 senses to gain information about the environment.
