Children will be able to explore the classroom at their own pace, explore a variety of art experiences, participate in
music and movement, and begin to explore socializing with classmates! During circle time and
throughout the day we will focus on language development through songs, fingerplays, and
stories. We will also focus on large motor and fine motor development and
sensory experiences. Becoming independent is a big focus for this class. They will learn to do
many self-help skills such as putting on their coats, cleaning up, and washing their hands, just to name
a few. The children in our Nursery School Program will receive a light introduction to Spanish.
They will learn their colors, numbers, animals, and a variety of commands in Spanish. For many,
this will be their first time away from home. It is our goal that our Nursery School children see
Little Llamas as their home away from home!

The work of childhood.
Our Pre-K Program meets 3 or 5 days a week from 9:15 am-noon.
This program is ideal for children ages 3.5 - 5 years old. During our Pre-K class, the
children will be able to explore the classroom and participate in a variety of open-ended and
focused art experiences. They will learn to cut, color, paste, glue, paint, draw, build, trace, and
much more. We work with our students on individual bases when it comes to art and
handwriting. All children are unique and this allows us to meet each child's needs. They will
also engage in an array of fine and gross motor activities that will help prepare their bodies and
hands for the demands of today's kindergarten. The children will learn many songs, poems, and
finger plays, as well as a variety of Spanish vocabulary and songs. Some
topics we will cover in Spanish are colors, numbers, shapes, days of the week, months, animals,
commands, weather, seasons, family members, and the alphabet.
Our Pre-K students will also be introduced to math concepts, science, social studies,
music/movement, pre-reading, and beginning phonics. Our 4 year old's (and 3 year old's who are ready) will
learn to write the letters of the alphabet and their names using the Learning Without Tears
curriculum.
