PROGRAMS
Mt Carmel Preschool & Daycare offers an educational Toddler and Preschool Curriculum that will be implemented throughout the year. Each child is encouraged to participate in our daily activities. Each classroom will have an outlined curriculum explaining what will be learned, in what manner, and a timeframe. Lesson plans are required by all teachers outlining what is planned for the children and how it will be implemented. We encourage all parents to visit their child’s classroom and actively participate. At Mt Carmel Preschool & Daycare we believe that children play an active role in what they learn.
Student facilitated learning is actively encouraged. We feel that if the children are interested in a topic, the teacher should follow what the children have an interest for and turn it into a learning opportunity. We encourage children to voice their feelings, concerns, and ask questions. Our teachers believe in having a stress free, comfortable, nurturing, and fun environment in which children learn.
TODDLER 1
This program is geared for children 18 months to 24 months. It focuses on continuing to promote the growth of your child both mentally and physically. At this age, toddlers are very curious about their environment and will explore to figure things out. Some typical milestones at this age include standing while holding on to furniture, “creeping” along as they walk, standing alone, walking alone, beginning to learn how to use utensils to self-feed, and many more. The toddler teachers will continue to work with your child to promote healthy development of their bodies spiritually, mentally, and physically.
TODDLER 2
This program is age and skill appropriate for children 27 months through 3 years. The curriculum offers theme-based activities with a focus on introducing numbers, shapes, and social skills. Social skills are a very important component to toddlers as they will need these skills to actively communicate and work with others throughout their years.
AGE 3 - 4
The curriculum offers theme-based activities with a focus on early phonics/phonemic awareness (pre-reading skills), shapes, colors, and math skills (number identification and application). Children will also practice name writing and recognition, as well as build on teamwork and social skills.
PRE-K
The program is an extension of what the children learned in the pre-school program. Children in this program are preparing to enter school for the first time. Self-help skills are enforced as well as learning cooperation, independence, responsibility, and academic preparation. They will build on early phonics/phonemic awareness (pre-reading skills), shapes, colors, and math skills. They will also work on writing and identifying their own names.
AFTER-SCHOOL
This is a program that allows your child time to complete their homework with the help of our after-school teachers. They will receive assistance in academics, as well as time to relax and wind down from a busy day at school. They will have an opportunity to participate in the many extracurricular activities that will be available to all after-school students indoors or outdoors (weather permitting).
MORNING PROGRAM (HALF-DAY)
Program hours are 9:00 am. to 1:00 pm. You may not drop off your child prior to program start hours.
SUMMER PROGRAM
Summer can be a stressful time for working parents who need to find a safe and nurturing place for their children. Our summer program includes a variety of activities that keep children happy, active, and entertained, while still continuing to learn.
