Children's Literature Review

Discovery Room Segment Title
Discovery Room welcomes three year olds to our Program with a choice of two to five days per week. This teaching staff in the Discovery Room is led by Karen Haugen who is the Program's Coordinator. Children are given the opportunity to thrive in a loving and nurturing environment staffed by well-educated, caring teachers. The Discovery Room is a warm, cozy and welcoming environment in which they will feel safe and secure with qualified teachers. The teachers are ready to set up new and exciting experiences and opportunities to explore with our many centers.

Daily activities will include: easel painting, varied art choices, play-dough, sensory activities, science, and table tasks which include manipulatives, puzzles, matching, counting, cooking and even art. Dramatic play is always available in many forms, a large motor area, block building and a quiet reading center. Outdoor play which promotes large motor skills is also an important part of our daily activity.

Planned by the teachers throughout the school year, each of these centers will present different activities, keeping in mind children's developmental, social and cognitive skills. Music in the form of song and dance is presented many times during the day as well as a library filled with wonderful literature for children.

It will be our greatest joy to honor families, foster trust between home and school and to promote friendships and self esteem in your children.
