Our Preschool Program
Our Preschool program offers children more challenge and also, more responsibility. Typically, all children are ready for this, as they are starting to grow up! They are information sponges, and are beginning to "know it all"! Their desire to explore is extremely prominent and with our center based curriculum, there is always a space for them to learn.
With our dedicated learning "centers", children can "make believe" and be anything they would like to! Most of the children are so excited to engage with their friends in whatever center they happen to be in, when they come into school.
We continue this fun, while working on curriculum. The children at Little Feet are encouraged to learn through play ( Creative Curriculum). We work on letters, tracing, phonics, finger grip ( with chubby pencils), color and letter association as well as so many other learning opportunities.
The Handwriting Without Tears is an evidence based program that helps children learn finger dexterity with beading and lacing which help them learn to write.
Fun lessons about letters, and abstract writing skills,will connect handwriting to different developmental goals for each child. Double lined books help children shape their letters properly.
We encourage parents to assist us in potty training your children ( If they aren't potty trained already). Our teachers are excited about our children being potty trained. It helps encourage self reliance as well as self confidence and self esteem!
Lead PreSchool Teacher
Ms. Alicia
Hi, My name is Alicia. I have worked at Little Feet Childcare since September of 2018. I was hired as an assistant teacher, and am now the lead teacher of our preschool group.
I have learned so much in the 3 years that I've been here.
I really enjoy the preschool age, as they are starting to ask many questions and are starting to read, spell their name, color "in the lines", and even learning where they live! My goal is to always have the children prepared for Prekindergarten by starting pencil grip skills and tracing their names and letters as well as teaching the children manners and patience and being helpful friends.
I am completing my CDA in Preschool/PreK and plan to continue to work in the preschool environment. I have worked as a paraprofessional for children on the Autism spectrum as I assisted them with furthering their life skills and prior to that was an educational consultant for Discovery Toys and in my younger years worked for the City of New York. I have an Associates Degree in Business Management from Kingsborough Community College. I am looking forward to helping your children grow and learn and prepare them for Pre-Kindergarten.
