Rompers Preschool
We believe each child is a unique individual who learns at their own pace through play, active exploration, hands-on experience and social interaction. Our licensed programs are play-based and child-centered. The Early Childhood Educators are responsive to children’s play and co-create a learning environment with the children that builds on their curiosity and interests. Topics of interest are often explored with the children in groups in order to foster an inviting, engaging, and collaborative social setting, and to create meaningful developmentally appropriate learning experiences. The depth and length of learning are determined by the children’s sustained interests. Focus is placed on the process of experiences as well as fostering healthy social-emotional development, rather than an academic curriculum. It is our goal to provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment which promotes exploration and the healthy development of the whole child in all areas, including social/emotional, cognitive, communication/language and physical development. A daily routine is followed as a guideline to allow the child to develop a sense of safety and trust, and to be clear on what is expected if the child. Activities in the routine include: a large emphasis on daily outdoor play (with gardening in the spring), open ended art, group time, science experiments, music and movement, sensory activities and nutrition breaks.
