The Poppies classroom is welcoming and inclusive to all. We focus on relationship skills, emotional literacy, regulation, and a variety of kindergarten readiness skills. We build on these skills by providing age-appropriate and engaging activities, as well as focusing on the importance of repetition and individualization. We celebrate the different cultures in our community to promote acceptance and representation.
We begin circle time after breakfast with a story, letter and number songs, and our circle time board in the morning. The kids have multiple opportunities to play in a variety of learning centers throughout the day. We also complete activities to build on letter and number recognition, writing skills, art projects, and fine and gross motor development.
The Poppies classroom is set up to promote learning and exploration. There are centers for each learning domain: STEM, Art, Dramatic Play, Blocks/Engineering, and Literacy. We also have a tabletop shelf for independent or collaborative playing, and a calming zone with books, puzzles, and fidgets to relax and regulate.
We believe in keeping families informed and connected. Here is how we communicate:
