Self Help Skills
At the Purple Panther Preschool we encourage children to be as independent as possible. Children are encouraged to serve themselves during snack time including pouring their own drinks, scooping fruit into their bowl, taking small portions and cleaning up when they are done. Here children will also learn how to put their own jackets on, as well as zip or button the best they can. You will see how proud your child is once they learn these important skills.

Language and Literacy
Early introduction into language and literacy is very important to a child's development. Through stories, songs, finger plays and social experience, children can learn how to read, write and understand the importance of communication. Here at the Purple Panther Preschool, we teach children effective ways of communication with peers through play and large group experiences. We will also work on beginning letter recognition, name recognition, rhyming and repetition. We believe that reading to a child is very important during development. You can be sure that your child will be read to every day, whether in a large group setting or one on one.

Fine Motor
Fine motor skills are important to help your child develop the skills necessary to write and cut. Using hands on experiences, such as rolling and cutting play-dough, using small paint brushes, lacing beads and completing puzzles, your child will improve his/her fine motor skills one day at a time.

Math and Science
Counting, measuring, patterns, estimation and discovery are just some of the math and science experiences that your child will have during his/her time at the Purple Panther Preschool. Through hands on interaction and both small and large group lessons, your child will learn how to count and explore on his/her own without even knowing it. You will be able to see the look of excitement when your child comes home and shares his/her experiences each day.
