Overview
Children learn best when they are interested and engaged in activtities. Young children thrive on active, hands-on experiences. We believe in child-centered and play-based learning. We encourage children to explore by using their senses and imaginations. Children learn by "doing" in a safe and developmentally appropriate enviornment. Many opportunities, including a healthy balance of teacher-directed and child-lead activties, allow for the development of social, emotional, cognitive, language, creative, science, sensory, and motor skills. We believe in authentic learning experiences, taking advantage of "teachable moments."
RCW preschool offers a developmentally appropriate learning experience that fosters the skills children will need in kindergarten, including social and emotional skills, cognitive, language and literacy, math and science, fine motor and gross motor skills and many other exciting experiences. Because play is a young child's "work", play and many other hands-on experiences are an important part of your child's day. playing with other students, children learn problem solving skills, sharing, creativity, imagination, development of relationships, and much more. We offer a fun, safe, and caring learning environment that seeks to meet the needs of every child, enriching their days with endless learning opportunities.
