Our Programs
DENISA Childcare’s Toddler and Preschool programs provides your child with the opportunity to strengthen their essential skills which will prepare them for a life of learning and to positively contribute to the world around them.
Our Toddler and Preschool Program Includes:
Emotional Development
Our educators support your child to understand their feelings as well as understand the feelings of others. To learn how to recognize and manage their feelings and associated behaviours.
Social Skills
Gained by collaborative play and learning alongside each other, children learn to respect and get along with their peers which helps develop their language skills, and self control. Teachers guide children to resolve conflicts that may occur during creative play or structured activities.
Early Literacy Development
Teacher directed, independent and small-group activities such as reading at circle time, activities that support exploration, investigation, and discovery of letters and words.
Toddlers are taught to learn to recognize letters and numbers, to recite their ABCs, whilst Preschool children are taught to begin to learn to write their names, practice writing letters and read simple words.
Communication
Skills
Your child's ability to ask questions, to express their feelings and share their needs, both through spoken words and body language are very important to their ability to succeed socially and academically.
Activities, along with teacher's feedback, learning approaches that adapt to each child and incorporate their strengths and interests are designed with the intent of honing these communication skills.
Fine Motor Skills
Craft, art activities that require children to use markers, work with scissors, sculpt, sort and other dexterity-focused creative play develops children’s fine motor skills which are necessary for tasks such as dressing and undressing as they get older.
Attention Span
It is difficult for young learners to sit still and pay attention for more than a few minutes. The structured yet nurturing environment of our toddler and preschool programs is fundamental to the development of children’s attention spans in preparation for the challenging classroom environments ahead.
