More Than
Preschool
Where children come to thrive!
Unforgettable Educational
Experiences for Kids Birth - 12 Years
At More Than Preschool, I understand that every child has a wild, adventurous spirit. This home daycare is where they can thrive - exploring, learning, and growing in a safe, homely environment.
Life Cycles
Teaching children about plant and animal life cycles helps them connect with the natural world, fostering curiosity and respect for living things.
Activities like planting seeds, or caring for classroom plants encourages hands-on learning, development of critical thinking skills, and promotes a sense of responsibility for the environment. These lessons build a foundation of scientific knowledge and inspire a lifelong appreciation for nature.
Shapes & Colors
Teaching children shapes and colors is a fundamental part of early learning that helps develop their cognitive and visual perception skills.
Recognizing shapes enhances spatial awareness, while identifying colors builds language skills and encourages creativity. Through activities like sorting objects, matching games, and art projects, children learn to differentiate, categorize, and describe the world around them.
Life Skills
Teaching young children life skills equips them with the tools they need to grow into independent, confident, and capable individuals.
Through interactive and age-appropriate activities, children learn problem-solving, decision-making, and social skills like sharing and cooperation. By integrating life skills into daily routines - like setting the table, putting away toys, or learning to express emotions constructively - children gain a sense of responsibility and accomplishment. These lessons help build a strong foundation for their future success both at home and in school.
Reading
Reading to children fosters a love for stories, expands their vocabulary, and strengthens their listening and comprehension skills.
It creates opportunities for bonding, ignites their imagination, and introduces them to new concepts and cultures. Storytime encourages curiosity, improves attention spans, and lays the foundation for critical thinking. By focusing on phonics, sight words, and storytelling, children learn to decode words and understand meaning. Engaging activities such as alphabet games, rhyming exercises, and shared reading experiences help develop fluency and comprehension. Both practices nurture a passion for learning and set the stage for academic success.
Movement
Teaching children movement is essential for their physical, cognitive, and social development. Through activities like dancing, jumping, stretching, and running, children enhance their motor skills, coordination, and balance. These activities also help them develop spatial awareness and body control, which are vital for tasks like writing, climbing, and sports.
Incorporating movement into play and learning - such as action songs, obstacle courses, and exercise for kids - encourages creativity, builds confidence, and improves focus. It also promotes healthy habits by showing children the joy of staying active. These experiences help channel their energy positively while fostering teamwork and self-expression.
