Good Samaritan 2's and 2/3 Combination Program
Good Samaritan Preschool offers 2’s and a 2/3’s Combination Program. These programs have teacher/student ratios of 1 to 8. This group is designed for children who are ready for more group structure.
Children are offered a wide variety of activities that foster all areas of development. Time is spent on language, cognitive and sensory activities. Social skills are still a primary consideration when planning for this group. Children are encouraged to work through conflicts and emotions by using words instead of actions. As the children grow and gain more independence as well as more language skills, teachers work to provide activities that will foster social skills and self confidence. At Good Samaritan Preschool we teach our children to share toys and space, use words to express themselves and to wait their turn. Developing the child’s social skills is something that continues throughout the preschool years. However, the 2’s and 2/3 combination is where we start teaching this important life skill.
At Good Samaritan, we recognize the need for children ages 2/3 to assert their independence. Teachers provide many ways for our children to try new things and do things for themselves. Our teachers recognize the need to step back a bit and observe children. They act as facilitators in the children’s play and learning. The staff provides the learning environment and allows the children to explore different activities with little intervention. Teachers also work with the children on self care and self help, such as toilet learning. Our teachers work with the families to make the toilet training a school and family process. |
