Toddlers are an active and inquisitive bunch!  They are exploring their new mobile world with much excitement and wonder.  Our Toddler programs quench those curious minds with interactive and engaging learning experiences each and every day.

We have carefully selected equipment and learning materials to stimulate that curiosity and have arranged the classrooms to encourage exploration.  Our curriculum provides opportunities for a wide variety of learning opportunities in a supportive environment that strengthens the social and emotional well-being of each child. This support from the teachers, as well as the opportunity to make simple choices, will help your child become a confident and eager learner.

Language & Literacy, Dramatic Play, Blocks & Transportation, Music & Movement, Fine & Gross Motor, Art, Science, and Math are the domains used to introduce concepts and measure learning outcomes.  Whether they are building towers with blocks, role playing in the “dramatic play” area, or sorting manipulatives by shape and color, the lesson plans engage the children in fun learning activities throughout the day.

A typical day consists of large group, small group and individual interaction that will take place both indoors in our developmentally appropriate classroom and outside on our specially designed playground.  Our Toddler program provides a fun and engaging curriculum in a safe and supportive environment that will promote your child’s new love of learning.

Not all preschool programs are equal!  Quality preschools “use” teaching and learning practices that are research-based while providing a safe and developmentally appropriate environment.   MLCC does just that! Preschool children are curious, active, and social learners who are exploring their newly found sense of independence.  We encourage this independence with just the right combination of teacher guided and child directed activities in a classroom environment specifically designed for them.

Our Preschool classroom is divided into academically based learning centers including Language & Literacy, Science, Math, Blocks & Transportation, Dramatic Play, Art, Music and Movement, and Fine Motor/Manipulatives (what term do you use?).  These centers are set up for independent and small group activities where the children have ample time for hands-on exploration.  During center time, teachers interact with the children, ask questions, set up learning experiences, encourage higher level thinking skills, and inspire creativity.

We use an integrated curriculum approach based on the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS).  For instance, a lesson plan about apples may include activities such as tasting several apple varieties, measuring, weighing and sorting apples, watching seeds grow, baking an apple pie, and even setting up a “bakery” in the Dramatic Play center.  Integrating all learning domains in the lesson plan allows the children to make deeper connections and therefore meet and often exceed the expected learning outcomes.  Our program certainly teaches the children in our preschool classroom, but more importantly, we inspire their love of learning.

Our Pre-K Program is designed to prepare children for Kindergarten by developing the necessary skills, instilling good habits, and encouraging a positive attitude toward learning.

Our state certified lead and assistant teachers create integrated weekly lesson plans using the Pre-K Content Standards and the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS).  Our lesson plans incorporate all learning domains and consist of planned activities that engage the children in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences.  Learning outcomes are observed, documented and measured to ensure the successful implementation of the curriculum.

The Pre-K classroom is divided into learning centers including Language & Literacy, Science, Math, Computers, Blocks & Transportation, Dramatic Play, Art, Music and Movement, and Fine Motor/Manipulatives. The centers are equipped with a variety of open-ended learning materials that encourage thinking, investigation, and problem solving.  Instead of just answering questions, our teachers engage the children in conversation that helps guide them toward possible answers through reasoning and deduction.

Our goal is not only to prepare the children for school, but to send them to Kindergarten as independent, deep thinking, problem solving students who are excited about learning.

The Georgia Pre-K Program, for children who turn 4 years old prior to September 1^st, is in session during the traditional school year from 8:00am-2:45pm.
