For children ages two through five, SOARING WINGS offers a structured preschool curriculum provided to us by Mother Goose Time, a professionally planned preschool curriculum designed to be used in family childcare homes and centers.  We supplement this curriculum with enriching activities ranging from arts and crafts projects to games, songs, finger plays, storytelling, creative dramatics, exercises, science, shapes, numbers, colors, alphabet, and much more through various monthly themes.  Some of these projects will be taken home to share with you, and others will be group activities that you can ask about.  At SOARING WINGS, toddlers and preschoolers start their day with Morning Circle Time, where the children join together to discuss a daily topic, the weather and the day's exciting activities.  During this time, children learn to listen, share, take turns, cooperate, express themselves, and give and receive feedback, which gives them a chance to demonstrate what they are learning.  We introduce one concept at a time in a logical natural sequence, so your child feels proud, not frustrated.  We know that children learn best when they are actively involved.  Activities are hands-on and unique, providing a balance of important preschool skills and knowledge.  Our curriculum helps develop happy and confident children; children who smile while they sing, talk, dance, rhyme, count, play, create, and write.  Your child will leave us well prepared for kindergarten and beyond, empowered to become a creative problem-solver and life-long learner.
