We use a variety of learning activities here. I’ve created our own preschool program that is Literacy based. We also use things from The Creative Curriculum and Pocket of Preschool. Each month we focus on several different themes, we also work on colors, numbers, letters, and shapes. We do a daily linear calendar with the day of the month, the weather outside, and we go through our alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers, daily. We are also learning how to prepare ourselves for kindergarten by focusing on social skills like sharing, taking turns, being good listeners, how to treat our friends, and so on.

We strongly support children participating in storytelling to allow them to use their own imaginations. We change our environment at Wishing Wells Daycare very often, providing the children with a wide variety of social, play, and educational experiences. We also work on plenty of social skills and work daily on manners, feelings, and how to treat those that we care about. I’m very happy to share that each year, Kindergarten teachers from Orchard Center Elementary say things to me like “We love getting kids from your daycare; they are very eager to learn and many of them are already writing their names, some are beginning to read but they are also prepared socially too, and it makes our jobs much easier when kids come to school prepared!"
