Curriculum and Communication

West Clermont Preschool has adopted the Creative Curriculum for 

Preschool.  This comprehensive curriculum focuses on the development of the 

child covering four main developmental domains; social emotional, physical, 

cognitive, and language development.  In order to best meet the needs of a 

developing young child, our class is arranged using learning centers.   The 

learning centers foster hands on learning, pro-social behavior, problem 

solving, etc…  The learning centers include; dramatic play, science, music, 

writing, art, manipulatives, sensory, computer, blocks, math and books.  

Daily we have a special activity usually consisting of an art 

activity/experience.   When designing the learning centers and choosing 

materials the classroom teacher uses the Pre-K Ohio Content Standards.  Along 

with the learning centers (center time), children participate in two large 

group times and a snack language experience.  During group time children have 

the opportunity to engage in movement activities, sing along with songs, read 

language charts, listen to stories, answer questions etc…  

Communication/Partnership:

               As a teacher of young children, I strongly believe in communication 

between families and the preschool team.  You as parents are experts about 

your child and with healthy communication between home and school, your child 

will have the best opportunity to learn.  Parents are the key to success; 

therefore I am always open to phone calls, emails, conferences, and notes.  A 

preschool newsletter is provided from the teacher and a communication 

notebook is kept in your child’s backpack.  The communication notebook serves 

as a tool for quick notes from home to school and visa versa.  Parents are 

invited to participate in various ways in and out of the preschool 

classroom.
