Preschoolers

The preschool years are a time of incredible growth, creativity, and social development. At Kolibri, we design a fun and engaging day full where children build a strong foundation in literacy, math, language, and social-emotional skills. Through hands-on activities and creative play, we make learning enjoyable while preparing preschoolers for kindergarten and beyond.

Preschoolers are naturally curious and ready to tackle new challenges. Our curriculum supports their growth by encouraging independence, communication, and cooperation, all while fostering cognitive, physical, and emotional development. With a focus on safety, proper nutrition, and nurturing each child's individual needs, we provide the tools and support they need to thrive in a dynamic, interactive environment.

Program goals and milestones

At Kolibri Daycare, our preschool program is designed to foster the development of key milestones that prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. We focus on nurturing each child's social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language growth through intentional, hands-on learning experiences.

• Independence & Self-Help Skills: Preschoolers are encouraged to gradually progress to following more complex tasks. They build confidence by mastering self-help skills like zipping, lacing, and buttoning.
• Physical Development: Enhance their gross motor skills with activities like hopping, kicking, and balancing, while fine motor skills grow through writing, drawing, and hand-eye coordination tasks.
• Social-Emotional Growth: Develop self-awareness, empathy, and cooperation skills, learning to interact with peers, express emotions, and understand family and community dynamics.
• Language Development: Expand their vocabulary, engage in conversations, and begin to use complete sentences to express their thoughts and ideas. They build early literacy skills through letter recognition, writing, and listening skills.
• Cognitive Development: Develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, using their growing knowledge to make sense of the world around them, such as identifying patterns and using logic.
• Math: Explore early math concepts through fun activities like identifying shapes, counting objects, and recognizing numbers. They develop skills in sorting, patterning, and basic measurements, laying the foundation for future mathematical learning.
• Nature & Science: Engage with the natural world by exploring animals, weather, and the environment, fostering curiosity and a deeper understanding of the physical world.

At Kolibri, we create an engaging, nurturing environment where children develop holistically, preparing them for future academic success while fostering a love for learning.
