Each child is seen as a unique individual with specific needs, interests, and potentials. By providing a safe and stimulating environment where activities and interactions are designed to develop children's self-esteem and positive feelings toward learning, young children are able to explore materials and people relevant to their own life experiences. Young children are constantly trying to make sense of their world. Since they are more concrete than logical thinkers, they need hands-on experiences from which to construct knowledge.
Children are able to explore areas of interest through theme studies.
By providing opportunities through content areas, learning centers, visitors, etc., children are able to review information and draw conclusions. Language, math, science, and social studies skills are developed through art, music, play, social interaction, and a variety of creatively planned, age-appropriate activities. Readiness activities are experiences which foster development. Holy Trinity seeks to identify each child's level of development and create readiness activities to meet the individual needs of the child. The Holy Trinity Pre-kindergarten class is a full day transitional class for younger five year olds, who would benefit from an additional year to strengthen developmental skills before heading to a formal kindergarten program.
