Many multi-sensory experiences are provided in order to meet all learning styles, and to provide life, excitement and meaning to the experience of our youngsters in their first formal school year. First grade at Taylor Avenue Early Childhood Center is an exciting place as well. Learning is thematic, with connections across all subject areas. Some of our themes include friendship, animals, cultures around the world, seasons, space, holidays, and plants. Our day is spent engaging in literacy activities and concept development.
Technology is important in our program - with opportunities to use the computers daily.
When you walk into our classes, you'll see books, friends working together, projects and smiles. The science program at Taylor Avenue Early Childhood Center is discovery and inquiry-based and reflects the New York State elementary science syllabus. Themes nurture children's natural curiosity and capitalize on their interest in the environment. Science units emphasize integration of language arts, math, and science. The process skills that we focus on in kindergarten and first grade are observing, comparing, and, sorting and grouping.
