Our four year old program is named the Pre-K Penguins.  A preschooler’s world opens up in new ways as children improve coordination, learn complex games, and begin to interact more with others.  Children learn by doing, and at Little Paradise, your preschooler will strengthen his or her cognitive skills with plenty of hands-on activities.

​

The four year old program continues with goals focused upon four main areas of child development, which include:

​

• Social/Emotional Development:  This area includes goals for recognizing feelings and managing them appropriately, respecting the rights of others, and using thinking skills to solve conflicts.

​

• Physical Development:  The goals for this area of development include balancing while moving, coordinating eye-hand movement, and using tools for writing and drawing.

​

• Cognitive Development: Exploring cause and effect, applying knowledge to a variety of experiences, and using numbers and counting are some goals from the cognitive area of development.

​

• Language Development: This area includes goals for understand and following oral directions, expression of wants and needs using words, participating in back and forth conversations, and demonstrating knowledge of the alphabet.
