BUILDING with BLOCKS

I love to have blocks out in the classroom everyday. Sometimes we play with the classic wooden blocks, sometimes we use a type of foam or cardboard block to create structures that would make Frank Lloyd Wright proud! Is it all just fun and games? Of course it is, and then some...

When children are building they are learning math, science, language, and social skills. Imagine a toy so simple, yet it supplies exploration in volumne, size, shape, spatial relationships, cause and effect, weight properties, increased vocabulary, understanding symbols and learning how to share and work together in positive ways. WOW. That's impressive.

So get out some blocks and let your child get to work. After all, it's just child's play.

The mission of Adams Preschool

Adams Elementary School Preschool believes in a child directed classroom that offers hands-on opportunities for learning in a safe and clean environment. With the needs of 3 to 5 year-olds in mind, our mission is to aid and support children in their development of language, the strengthening of fine and gross motor skills, the development of cognitive skills in preparation for reading and math readiness, and socio-emotional skills. The centers in the classroom include dramatic play, art, literacy, math, and science. We believe that children learn through play and this is a vital component of our classroom. The child/teacher ratio is kept at 3 to 1 to maximize learning and offer more one on one attention. Adams views the teacher/parent relationship as a team effort and encourages parents to be active members in our classroom. Our door is always open.
