Tumbleweeds Child Care Center

​

 

Our Pre-kindergarten program bridges the gap between preschool and kindergarten. It is designed to boost school readiness by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With our small-group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump into kindergarten.

​

The most important skills and attitudes your child can hope to bring to kindergarten are enthusiasm for learning, confidence in their ability to solve problems, the ability to function as a member of a team or group, the ability to follow directions and basic self-care such as keeping track of one’s belongings and personal hygiene. Our program encourage these skills with everything we do.

​

Every day in our pre-kindergarten program children participate in:

• whole-group instruction 

• small-group activities 

• child-directed play in learning centers

• skill-building activities for additional practice and development in core skill areas

​

Community Programs

 

In addition to our daily Pre-K curriculum, the program integrates learning and exploration with community partners.

​

• Miss Laura visits us once a week and leads our dance activities.

• Mr. Chance from the Wilton Library visits us twice a month and provides hands on educational literacy to our students.

• We walk to the Wilton Library twice a month.

• At times we participate in local events representing the early learners of the community.

​
