Exclusive Peter Pan Programs
At Peter Pan Learning Centers we have many different programs including: Health Little Bits, Perky Pete's Microscope, Sing, Wiggle, Dance and Learn, Math our Way and many different Enrichment programs.
Health Little Bits is an interactive hands-on program divided into three important areas that expose children to good health habits ~ hopefully for life! These age appropriate and exploratory lessons are implemented with hands-on experiences, books, poems, and lots of group activities.
"Nose to Toes": explore what body parts we can see and those we cannot
"Ready ~ Set ~ Jump": discover what makes our body parts move
"Just a Bite": learn what fuel our body needs to be healthy and strong
Perky Pete's Microscope introduces weekly learning expeditions that encourage the children to explore and take a closer look at the world around them. This science curriculum is centered around preschool-aged children's interests and natural curiosity. Teachers guide them ~ as they learn to question, discover, test, and exhibit ideas in their own unique ways. Each "science box" is like a treasure chest that contains carefully prepared information and specially selected items that allow the topics to 'come alive' for each child.
Sing, Wiggle, Dance and Learn is our music-based curriculum featuring essential learning for every child. This exclusive Peter Pan program is an innovative approach that combines music and movement, allowing children to express themselves in unique and fun ways. We incorporate bean bags, parachutes, scarves, and instruments to enhance the learning experience. Our music program encourages and challenges children, as they develop balance, coordination, spatial awareness, right and left discrimination, opposite analysis, partner and group cooperation, and eye-hand coordination. Children develop self-confidence, as they Sing ~ Wiggle ~ Dance ~ Learn!
Math Our Way is Peter Pan's activity-based math curriculum, formatted into weekly lessons that build children's math skills one step at a time. The hands-on activities allow children to explore math through the use of manipulative materials. A balance between individual, small group, and large group activities, allows children to comprehend math concepts in a variety of ways. As basic math concepts are introduced, the children experience one-to-one correspondence, sorting and classifying, patterns, counting, comparing, ordering, graphing, shapes, early number concepts, and measuring. Children develop a real understanding of math concepts through "Math Our Way" ~ as they learn by doing.
Peter Pan’s Enrichment Program provides the opportunity for children to acquire new interests, discover hidden talents, and foster skill development ~ all while learning and having fun. Open to children ages three through six years old, these classes encourage children to expand their mind, as they participate in activities that allow them to experiment, explore, problem solve, satisfy their curiosity, and socialize with peers.
A new series of exciting classes are offered each month and provide small group experiences in a wide variety of topics. Some classes are specific to a particular subject, such as math, science, literacy, journaling, art, music, motor movement, or "Little Chefs" cooking. Other classes provide activities in a multiple subjects, such as combining literacy and math or art and science. We also offer seasonal classes each month - a few examples are "Creepy Concoctions", "Polar Express", "Frosty Friends", "Teeny Tiny Valentine", and "Ready, Set, Grow". Class descriptions and registration forms are provided each month so parents can choose the classes that are of interest to them and their child.
Enrichment classes are offered as open enrollment, with priority registration for currently enrolled students. There is limited space per session. All supplies are included in the session fees. The director at the preschool of your choice will be happy to answer all of your questions and help you enroll for our next session!
"Your children will love the fun ~ you'll love what they learn!"
