I offer your child a loving environment in a 1-4 ratio classroom for children, 3 and up. They will prepare for Kindergarten through fun, discovery and adventures while getting individual attention in a home environment school. &quot;Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world&quot;. Nelson Mandela. All curriculum is subject to change...The most effective Curriculum is the one that changes with the interests of the students. My name is Callie and I am your child's teacher. I have taught in other Educational Centers for two and a half years. I am also the owner of Adventure Village Preschool. I have opened this preschool as I have a different approach of teaching our young ones. I believe that 4-6 children in a classroom of three/four year olds is the best environment for our children. This provides the social engagement that a child needs, yet gives the teacher time to spend individual time for your child. I believe that children this age should be the center of their world, to have tons of fun, and to learn to love learning! I feel this can be accomplished by teaching Pre K requirements, and show your child that letters and numbers are in everything we do. To show them that learning is interesting if you take it a step further and explore what you are learning and discover the amazement that life has to offers us through learning. I believe that if we teach our children how to make their learning interesting now, they can apply those skills all through school and in life. Small steps is how learning occurs, the fewer children in the class helps them have more small moments to learn during the day. Every child needs to have individual attention and with four to six children in a classroom it is possible. I enjoy teaching and having fun. I hope you will come and share in the class room any time you feel the need to have fun and laugh. I will make the day with your child full of adventure, love, kindness, and learning.
