The teaching staff at Meadville Cooperative Preschool believes that play is a childs work. Children play to grow to learn to experience and to make sense of the world about them. Children learn through play by using all of their senses to interact with materials and persons in their environment.
Children learn by doing but all children do not learn in exactly the same way or at the same age. Preschool offers children a choice of whom to work and play with: children of the same ages children of different ages and developmental stages and children of different abilities. These developmental variations provide a foundation of diverse learning encounters.
Preschool offers a joyful learning experience before starting on the road to formal schooling. Meadville Cooperative Preschools early childhood curriculum is a developmentally appropriate program that recognizes both age and individual appropriateness. The Preschools goals are to help the children enrolled in the program:
- to develop a good self-image
- to develop independence and responsibility
- to develop resourcefulness and self-reliance
- to develop decision making and problem solving skills
- to discover a sense of pleasure in learning and discovery
- to develop language skills
- to develop cooperative positive relationships with others
- to function successfully within a structured setting
- to become aware of other children and their feelings and
- to develop trust and respect.
These key early childhood curriculum goals are accomplished through childrens play.
