A school owned by parents just like you
We, the owners of Shooting Stars Preschool, are parents of twin children ourselves, and our children provided the inspiration to start this school. Shooting Stars Preschool's curriculum is designed by experts in the field of Early Childhood education, where the focus is always on the overall development of the child. We realized early on that children learn more when they feel free, secure and loved. Years later, Shooting Stars evolved almost organically from a burning desire to provide the same home-like atmosphere to our community’s children so that they have an incredible foundation before they enter kindergarten.
Our Philosophy
Research has shown that children learn more rapidly in their first five years than during any other phase of their lives. In order for them to learn however, they need an environment that fosters trust and confidence. We provide an open environment where children can thrive on their own; where they are not afraid to touch and play with objects, and where we recognize that when children play and ask questions, they are not just learning to interact socially, but are also teaching themselves about colors and textures, about shapes and numbers, about cause and effect, and about the wonders of the world around them. Our philosophy believes in building a child's confidence, enhances their creativity and develops a lifelong love for learning in a structured environment in our child centered program.
Our Curriculum
Our methods are unique. They don’t rely on just any one system of thought. We recognize that children learn at different paces and have their own unique ways of gathering information from their surroundings. We tailor our curriculum to suit the learning styles of each child.
We balance free exploration with teacher directed activities which address all areas of a child’s development: emotional, cognitive, physical, language, literacy, and creative. Our classroom is arranged in areas of sensory, art, language and dramatic play. We have teacher led group activity time where each group of children work on the specific lesson plan tailored to their age appropriate developmental level . We rotate group activity tables from one group to the next. After children work on the lesson for the day they engage in the rest of the class as free choice.
We also help our young students develop their social-emotional skills: sharing, persistence, self control, conflict resolution, attention, etc. Beyond that, our preschool serves to help children learn Pre-reading and Pre-math skills to provide a strong base for what they will learn in kindergarten. We want our children to grow up to be future innovators and leaders!
With STEAM integrated in to everyday learning,our children will be able to approach any conflict with confidence and experience in non traditional thinking.Our typical preschool projects involve students involving crucial innovation and engineering tactics all while introducing them to processes like questioning and intuitive creativity. This approach helps create a new type of educational culture where kids from the earliest stages are encouraged to take risks and try out their ideas.
