Programs
Toddlers learn primarily through exploration of the physical and social environment and through direct experience with objects and events. They also need lots of caring, individual attention, and interaction. Our "Toddler" curriculum is planned around weekly themes that balance novelty with familiarity. It is flexible and adaptable to a wide range of developmental levels and abilities. Dom Dinis Toddler Program is primarily experience-oriented rather than skill-oriented. There are fun things to watch, and touch, and do. Our goal is for toddlers to have opportunities to explore objects and materials as well as themselves and other people. Language, self-help and potty training skills are developed during this period.
Preschoolers are continually searching for meaningful relationships in their environment, the early childhood years are ones of rapid concept development. Dom Dinis Preschool Program features developmentally appropriate, theme-based learning designed to help children understand concepts as we emphasize prereading skills, problem solving, and oral and written language. Our preschool curriculum includes process learning addressed through eight curricular domains: aesthetic learning; affective learning; cognitive learning; language learning; physical learning; social learning; construction play; and pretend play.
