Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten
Preschoolers are ready to ask bold questions, test ideas, and dive into meaningful relationships. At WOW, our play-based, brain-informed curriculum helps children build early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills—all through active learning. Guided by their interests and supported by consistent teachers, children develop the independence, focus, and curiosity they’ll carry far beyond kindergarten.
The HighScope Difference
Adult Child Interaction
Our teachers focus on over 30 areas of development in order to fully prepare your child for kindergarten and a life time of learning.
Learning Environment
Our classrooms are full of center based learning opportunities that change weekly and encompass all areas of learning. Environmental print and options for learning are plentiful.
Schedules and Routines
Our class schedules are built around preparing your child for kindergarten. With scheduled learning activities, and lots of chances for children to take the lead in their own learning, we work with each child's individual interests and learning needs.
Observation
Each child at WOW receives annual cognitive and social/emotional screenings. Three times a year you will receive a developmental assessment and an ongoing child observation records.
Your child's day at WOW
Work Times
Learning centers are created to give children a choice of activity, while guiding their learning through child-adult interactions
Outdoor Exploration
Weather appropriate, children go outside twice a day. If we cannot go outside, we engage in large motor time in the classroom.
Body care and rest Times
Younger children still take a nap or rest each day, but we work to phase it out by kindergarten. We assist children who are still potty training
Small Group Times
Teachers lead an engaging learning time that focuses on one or more of the 30 areas of development.
Meals and Snacks
Children are given a morning and afternoon snack and children pack their own lunch. We serve fluid milk at each meal, although parents can provide a milk alternitive.
Read it Again
We use the Read it Again program through The Ohio State University to build early literacy skills and start to prepare your child for a love of reading.
Morning Meeting
Each of our classrooms come together each morning in order to build a community and work on different learning goals.
Early Writing Program
The WOW Early writing program has been developed to give your child a strong start as they enter kindergarten.
Music and Movement
Children develop a variety of skills while participating in our educational music and movement time.
