There are so many wonderful things to look forward to as we go through the remaining few months of school. Check out our website....we promote our school as being the preschool "with a difference". And, that we are! Just take a look at the calendar each month to see all the special events and learning opportunities we present to the children and families!
La Casa has always been full 'STEAM' ahead of the game on great things happening!!! In fact, although they may be today's buzz words, STEM and STEAM activities introduced through play have been a staple of our teaching philosophy and methodology for years. The letters in the acronym S, T, E and M represent science, technology, engineering and math. The A in STEAM represents the wide umbrella of the arts. It is well researched that children learn through hands on - play based activities; this is no less important in fostering critical thinking skills and thought processes. Not coincidentally, through the processes of art specifically, children enhance necessary skill sets by doing projects or activities that promote fine motor control, crossing the midline of their body as they cut or create (this stimulates reading and math processing), following directions and much more. Through music, reading and math skills are honed while keeping the beat and rhythm of songs. The repetition of songs and chants inspire comprehension and recall as well.
Perhaps you were able to come to school during our two previous STEAM Fairs this year= and no doubt were amazed. We welcome you to plan to attend our upcoming FAIR scheduled for April 25 and 26. We promise you will enjoy it. Come and see for yourself what wonderful, natural critical thinkers your kiddos are!
Weekly Prayer....In Jesus' name we pray that our world is a safe place for our children to grow and thrive. We trust in His mercy that this and all of our prayers be answered according to His will. Amen.
