Chai Preschool & Infant Center

The programs of Chai Preschool & Infant Center arise from a common desire for excellence in meeting the needs of children and their families. Our philosophy is one of nurturing growth and development, relationships and understanding – all in the goal of establishing a love for learning, and a passion to approach the world’s diversity and culture with a positive outlook. At Chai Preschool & Infant Center we welcome each child regardless of background, religion or affiliation. We believe each child learns best in an environment that is rich in hands on experiences. We provide for the physical, intellectual and emotional growth of the children through activities that are child directed and teacher guided. Children are encouraged to use their senses to explore, experiment and use their imagination to the fullest. Through dramatic play, visual aides, manipulatives and the use of centers within the classroom such as art, science, blocks, math and literacy, children gain readiness skills for future learning. Our staff works closely with each child to help develop their self-esteem through problem solving, encouraging self-expression and offering positive reinforcement. We believe… that the home is the most important factor in a child’s development. We will always strive to support and complement the family in order to promote healthy development of children and parents. that loving, trusting, and respecting each child makes that child capable of loving, trusting and respecting others. that each child should be guided and encouraged to have a positive self-image. that children need a nurturing, safe and happy environment which promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn. That children are capable of learning through various methods including, play, exploration, structured and unstructured lessons….as long as it’s fun and exciting. that children deserve to have teachers whose values enable them to be excellent role models. At Chai Preschool & Infant Center we see each child as a unique and precious gift entrusted into our care. This concept is what governs our school’s educational approach. Our emphasis is placed on the individual child and on encouraging each child’s innate inquisitiveness and thirst for knowledge. Small classes and very low student-teacher ratios ensure each child receives individual and caring attention. Class ratios: 6wks - 12mos; 3 children with 1 teacher (max 9 children with 3 teachers) 12mos - 2yrs; 3 children with 1 teacher (max 18 children with 6 teachers) 2yrs (transitional classroom); approx. 6 children with 1 teacher (max 12 children with 2 teachers) 2yrs – 3yrs; approx. 6 children with 1 teacher (max 12 children with 2 teachers) 3yrs – 4yrs; approx. 8 children with 1 teacher (max 16 children with 2 teachers) 4yrs – 5yrs; 10 children with 1 teacher (max 20 children with 2 teachers)

Kindergarten literally translated means Children's Garden. It is a place where children will grow and flourish in their beginning education. MCDC's Primary program for three, four and five year olds is a three to four year kindergarten depending on a child's birthday. There is no preschooling. Kindergarten foundations for learning begin immediately. In order for your child to truly gain all the benefits from the Montessori experience, it is necessary that he or she stay in the same Children's House classroom until graduating to 1st grade. The initial year is the year of &quot;This is... showing him all there is to learn, explore, discover, and practice.&quot; We are very involved with a child during the first year. The teacher will invite the first year child to a considerable number of one-on-one lessons in the different areas of the classroom, all delivered with copious amounts of encouragement, repetition and precision. During your child's second year of Montessori education, we will encourage her to explore the environment much more independently. This is the &quot;Show me &quot; year. Your child begins to develop more confidence than the first year and is usually able to concentrate on activities for longer periods of time and choose her activities with intention. Then, during the last and most important year, the What is ? year, all of the previous experiences are synthesized. This final year is the most crucial one for the Montessori student because it allows him to bring together all that he has been working toward in the previous years. In this year, your child internalizes and really understands much of the knowledge he has been absorbing in the 2 previous years by mentoring and teaching it to the younger children. This is the year he experiences an increased sense of self-confidence. Empathy and compassion are developing. She becomes a class leader, teaching and giving lessons to younger children in the class and is the example for the younger classmates to follow. It is at this time that she really understands and integrates the concepts she has been learning. Your child is now beginning to experience the world of abstractions. The world of Geography, Math, Reading &amp; Language, and even the lessons of Practical Life reach a new and more independent level in the last year in a Children's House classroom. By the end of the final Kindergarten year, your child is ready to move on to the next level of development, that of the Reasoning Mind; The Age of Imagination.
