At wee care day care, our preschool program is designed to gently guide young learners through important early developmental stages in a warm, nurturing, and play-based environment. We split our program into two distinct classrooms to meet the unique needs of children in different stages of early childhood:

🐣 First-Year Preschool (Ages 2 – 3 years)

This class is for our youngest preschoolers who are beginning to explore the world more independently. We focus on language development, motor skills, socialization, and self-help abilities in a low-pressure, high-support environment that feels just like home.

What We Focus On:

• Learning basic concepts like colors, shapes, numbers, and animal sounds
  
  

• Building vocabulary through songs, stories, and conversations
  
  

• Encouraging parallel play and simple social interaction
  
  

• Practicing simple routines like clean-up, snack time, and hand washing
  
  

• Developing fine and gross motor skills through hands-on activities
  
  

• Supporting toilet training at each child’s individual pace
  
  

Daily Activities May Include:

• Storytime and singing
  
  

• Sensory play (sand, water, rice, etc.)
  
  

• Art with large crayons, paint, and stickers
  
  

• Building with blocks and stacking toys
  
  

• Dramatic play and puppet fun
  
  

• Outdoor exploration in our secure play yard
  
  

Children in this age group are learning how to be part of a group while still receiving close one-on-one attention from our loving staff.

🐝 Second-Year Preschool (Ages 4 – 5 years)

Our second-year preschool classroom is designed for older children who are ready for more structure, responsibility, and learning through purposeful play. This class gently prepares children for a successful transition to kindergarten—without rushing the natural pace of childhood.

What We Focus On:

• Early literacy: letter recognition, name writing, and storytelling
  
  

• Math concepts: counting, sorting, matching, and basic patterns
  
  

• Strengthening social-emotional skills like sharing, problem-solving, and empathy
  
  

• Encouraging independent thinking and confidence
  
  

• Group activities that promote listening and following directions
  
  

• Strengthening fine motor skills with writing tools, scissors, and manipulatives
  
  

Daily Activities May Include:

• Circle time with calendar, weather, and theme discussions
  
  

• Themed learning centers (math, language, art, science)
  
  

• Hands-on art and craft projects
  
  

• Outdoor group games and physical play
  
  

• Music & movement activities
  
  

• Storytelling and early writing exercises
  
  

This class strikes the perfect balance between kindergarten readiness and the joy of being a kid, with an emphasis on confidence-building, creativity, and curiosity.
