Curriculum‏

There have been numerous changes in the world of education at all levels, from preschool to graduate school.  Parsons Preschool is in the forefront of these changes as we transition from mere playtime to serious instructional strategies to help our students learn and grow so that they are better able to compete in the world of education when they graduate from our school and enter Kindergarten.  The following are some of the curriculum programs were have implemented at Parsons:

 

  • Fundations – Fundations is a preschool and early childhood language/reading development program based on the famous Wilson Language Program.  It is systematic and based on a multisensory approach to learning letters and sounds through phonics, and then decoding and blending words together.  This program was initially implemented during the Summer 2013 session, and the children are already experts in their letter and corresponding sounds.
  • Highscope – Highscope is a multisensory math program based on the New York State approved common core curriculum for preschool math instruction.  The program consists of fabulous manipulatives and a 50 unit curriculum that will be scaffolded weekly to give the children multiple opportunities to integrate the concepts.
  • Kidsparks – Kidsparks is a yearly science and social studies curriculum based on the New York State common core curriculum.  This is a full year’s program of study incorporating crafts, interactive lessons, health, and play.  Children will learn all about the world around them and be involved in hands-on activities to explore their world.
  • Brain Gym – Everyone knows the importance of physical activity.  Brain Gym goes many steps beyond by using the concept of “crossing the lateral” to improve cognitive ability through physical activity.  These activities are fun while also helping to improve the student’s ability to think better by bringing together the two halves of the brain.  Every morning begins with this as part of the opening activities.
  • Fun – Our day at Parsons is not all work and no play.  Play is a very important part of learning, and our students not only play, but they play well and learn to play well together cooperatively.  They learn to share, respect their fellow students, teachers, and themselves, and learn to be a part of a larger organization.

 

Every day is an adventure at Parsons.  We will be having many annual events to which parents, guardians, grandparents, friends, etc. will be invited to attend.  Some of these events are a Halloween parade, winter holiday party, Valentine’s Day, Spring parade, Mother’s and Father’s Day events, graduation, Fourth of July Parade, and a Carnival to end the year.  Many other events are in the making.  In addition, we will have Parent/Teacher meetings and educational meetings for parents to attend.  We hope you will join us for all of these informative and fun events.  See you there!
