Welcome to BedRock Preschool!

At BedRock Preschool, we recognize that the children’s developmental needs should be the foundation for every choice we make in planning our curriculum.  By understanding the developmental continuum between ages infant through six, teachers create age appropriate opportunities to promote positive experiences for all children to learn at their own pace while aligning to New York State Standards.  Lesson plans follow standards for learning in areas including social/emotional, physical, creative expression/aesthetic, language/literacy, mathematical thinking, scientific thinking, critical thinking, and social studies. 
 

Each classroom is physically safe, socially enhancing, emotionally nurturing, and intellectually stimulating.  Our teachers recognize that children learn best when they experience the world firsthand utilizing all of their senses to participate in learning.   Various classroom strategies help promote independent decision-making and self-selection while maintaining good classroom management.  During learning center time, teachers encourage self-exploration by asking students various questions that focus on who, what, when, where, why and how.  Centers include math, science, reading and writing, library, sand and water table, block building, dramatic play, and art area. 
 

The nurturing, progressive educational environment where children can play and grow builds a strong sense of community.  Our teachers reinforce the fundamentals such as respect, courtesy, and good manners is part of each school day. We encourage an attitude of mutual respect and acceptance of diversity.
