Camelot Pre-K program staffs at a 1 to 15 ratio. Our caregivers are trained in the care, education, and emotional security of your child. Each caregiver will also be trained in First Aid & CPR.
Children must be 4 years old by September 1st and fully potty trained to enter our Pre-K program. Parents may choose a napping or non-napping class. No transportation allows for a full day of educational benefits utilizing many opportunities for learning without the interruption of time lost in transitions from Camelot to school and back again. These additional hours of interaction with a full day teacher, who knows them well, provides the time needed to support any individual needs or interests.
The Camelot Pre-K program will prepare your child to excel in their Kindergarten year by meeting or exceeding any state requirements and continuously challenging your child. Camelot will provide most daily supplies; a list will be provided within the first week of pre-k for any requested donations.
Camelot Pre-K focuses on letters each week. We present many types of learning activities in writing, math, science, cooking, large and fine motor, art and social studies. We continuously refer to the sound of the letter throughout the days’ activities. Reading is the primary learning tool a child and young adult needs to master. How well you are able to read can affect your entire life potential. We have an opportunity to give a child an extraordinary advantage.
Every few weeks your child will embark on an adventure into the world around them through planned projects. These project experiences are aimed at helping them learn to ask questions and find answers.
Part of our daily curriculum plan engages the children in examples of good citizenship and social responsibility. We will familiarize your child with social conscience and a sense of the rights of others as well as their own rights and space within a group.
The overall program we present is highly academic in content because there is no clear purpose in not sharing academic information with young children. Offering information and process to the young child does no harm and can produce amazing interest for the child. A sense of security in a child is fostered by information. When a young child knows more about the world around them, they feel more secure. Understanding nature, science, sequence, written symbolism and social interaction are primary factors in building confident growth.
We thank you for your interest in Camelot and want to do everything possible to help you and your family feel comfortable. Please feel free to ask questions, offer suggestions or share comments any time you like. We look forward to providing the kind of care you wish for your child.
