Mary's Little Lambs preschool curriculum and classroom are designed to meet the unique needs of children from ages 2 to 5, with centers at child-eye-level specializing in writing, early literacy skills, science, math, language, dramatic play, blocks, and beginning computer skills. Based on our knowledge of child development and early childhood education we believe children learn through play and need a variety of stimulating activities that are both fun and challenging.
In addition to time spent with learning centers and manipulatives, we also use a science curriculum developed for children age 2 to 6 called Science is Simple by Peggy Ashbrook. Science is Simple is designed to develop reasoning skills and understanding of basic science principles and concepts. Its engaging experiments are also fun and easy to repeat. The children love wondering at the complexity and beauty of the natural world, whether it is through gardening, or an experiment that deals with basic phenomenae, such as, gravity, magnetism, or surface tension.
