We Teach Friendship Skills!

Storybook Village Preschool implements the Teaching Pyramid framework in the preschool classrooms! The Teaching Pyramid aims to promote healthy social-emotional development and teach children the skills that will help them be ready to succeed in school. The preschool curriculum fosters continuity of learning from infant & toddler group care to Pre-kindergarten through a Reggio-Inspired approach to view all children as capable and creative. The preschool and Pre-k mixed-aged group separates into learning groups assigned to a primary teacher within our "Great Room," block room, art room, garden, and outdoor classroom. Teachers and children engage in an emergent curriculum that is developmentally appropriate through a relationship-driven environment. Each child's awareness and knowledge of the world around them is enhanced and celebrated by intentional teachers, allowing them meaningful exploration while demonstrating respect for their ideas. Elaborate and significant interests or projects emerge from the purposes of the children and can extend over long periods.
