Rich Learning

They are becoming more independent and learning to show genuine affection to their peers. Our curriculum nurtures preschoolers and prepares them for kindergarten readiness. Our three-year-old preschool curriculum balances intentional instruction with child-directed play and values individual differences. It provides comprehensive, integrated thematic activities in all disciplines and domains.

Tip

What should I do when my preschooler clings on to me when I drop him off at preschool?

Your preschooler’s body is telling you important information about his feelings. Provide empathy for his upset, focus on safety, and provide a connection before you leave. A: Say, “Your body tells me you might feel scared about staying at preschool while I go to work. You are safe at preschool. Mrs. Ashleys will keep you safe.” Breathe together using an active calming technique like the S.T.A.R. (Read Shubert is a S.T.A.R. frequently at home, so this deep breathing technique becomes second nature.) Establish a connection ritual that you do together every morning at goodbye time. Involve Mrs. Ashley in the ritual if possible. A favorite ritual from my I Love You Ritual book would be ideal. After the ritual, it is time for you to leave. Breathe deeply and assertively state, “I’ll be back after nap time. Mrs. Ashley will keep you safe.” You can handle it,” and pass your child to Mrs. Ashley’s waiting hands. As you leave, envision your child as capable and strong, instead of feeling bad about leaving or upset about the disruption. Turn and walk away, breathing and wishing him well. It’s also helpful to know that during a certain developmental stage from 18 months to 2 ½ years, leaving Mom is more difficult for your child. You might ask your significant other to drop the child off if possible.
