Overview

The program at 4 Corners Community Nursery offers many opportunities for children to develop listening skills, to improve attention span, to learn to follow directions, to learn independent thinking, to practice problem solving skills and to begin building a foundation in reading and mathematics, while growing in confidence and self-esteem.

These skills are enhanced through:

Language Arts - the use of stories, finger plays and flannel boards help children make the first connection between the spoken word and the printed word. This also enhances vocabulary development, visual discrimination and alphabet recognition.

Dramatic Play - encourages children to engage in imaginative and creative play, by exploring the roles of many different people.

Math - counting, sorting, classifying, weighting and measuring, help children develop early math skills such as number concepts, number recognition and whole/part relationships.

Manipulatives - puzzles, beads and other table toys help children develop eye-hand coordination, a skill needed for reading.

Social Studies - celebrating holidays, field trips and visits from community workers (dentist, police, fire and rescue, 911) enhance a child's awareness of the world around them.

Art - arts and crafts, painting, drawing, coloring, cutting and gluing, encourage a child's creative expression while reinforcing eye-hand coordination.

Music - musical activities help children develop listening skills, improve attention span and coordination, as well as experiencing creative expression and an awareness of self.

Health and Safety - children learn personal hygiene (handwashing and bathroom skills) and personal safety, as well as learning to respect the safety of others.
