Emmeline Preschool

Our Program

​

The school year for preschoolers runs September to  June.  Our Preschool observes the same common dismissal and holidays as St. Luke School.

​

Emmeline Preschool's goal is to provide a stimulating, warm environment where each child feels welcome and special.  The Preschool's program aims to provide a healthy balance between enriching social experiences and an academic curriculum.

The program is based on the Play and Exploration: Early Learning Program Guide (Government of Saskatchewan Ministry of Education.)  The program provides opportunities for children to develop their social emotional, physical, spiritual and intellectual skills in a play based, literacy enriched environment

The program addresses "whole child" development by providing experiences in these content areas: 

 

Literacy - Vocabulary and language, phonological awareness, letters, comprehension, knowledge of print, literacy as a source of enjoyment

 

Mathematics - Number concepts, patterns and relationships, geometry and spatial sense, measurement, data collection and representation

 

Science - The physical properties of objects, living things, and the earth and environment

 

Arts - Music, dance, dramatic play, drawing, painting, crafts

 

Social and Emotional - Sense of self, responsibility for self and others, pro social behavior

​

Physical - Gross motor and fine motor

​

The context in which children will experience the above will vary between center based hands-on activities and teacher led interactive group activities.  Some of the learning centers that exist in the classroom and how they promote development are:

Blocks – develop problem solving skills, fine motor and spatial sense
Fine Motor/Puzzles/Games – prewriting skills, logical thinking
Library and Writing – pre-reading and writing skills, literacy awareness
Sensory Table – fine motor development, engages inquiry and exploration        

Light Table – fine motor development, engages inquiry and exploration

Arts –fine motor development, pre-writing skills

​

Activities will be initiated by a monthly theme that acts as a spring board to further interests of the children.
