St. Cecilia Preschool

At St. Cecilia Pre-School, we like to use a variety of teaching strategies in order to introduce new concepts to students because people learn in a variety of ways. We will teach your child how to sort through various stimuli in order to find the important information. This is a complex skill that is a pre-requirement to reading. Part of this skill is the ability to follow multi-step instructions and we work extensively to help your child develop it.

There is so much personal and social growth taking place at this age that you might wonder if we find the time to introduce “academic” concepts, as well. We do! However, do not be overly concerned if your child does not pick up every concept that we introduce. We try to expose the children to everything and hope that they will learn to development and grasp the knowledge in their own unique way. If not, it will happen when they are ready. The ability to use labels or names to represent objects is beginning to develop in some children at this age—but remember that letter names and numbers are all very abstract concepts. As our students proceed through the years, they will be making more advancement towards the mastery of these skills. It is an exciting journey that we are about to begin together!
