We look forward to working with families and helping children reach their potential through an encouraging and nurturing environment.
Your child's daily activities :
• Music and movement such as dance, yoga, creative movement, instrument and rytham exploration, finger play
• Interactive story telling, songs and games in English, Spanish and Serbian languages
• Daily arts and crafts activities, painting, drawing, workbook/color-book activities, etc.
• Play based learning of letters, numbers, shapes, weather, days, months, etc. introduced in English, Spanish and Serbian
• Special projects such as science, cooking, sensory exploration, and arts
• Manipulative play-- block building, puzzles, legos, table pegs, magnets, etc.
• Water and sand table exploration
• Make believe-- dress up
• Outdoors activities, field trips and playground and environment exploration
Through these early childhood, age-appropriate activities your child will learn the foundation of reading, writing, reasoning and math skills that are necessary for later learning.
Through a mixture of guided and undirected creative play the children will learn about: colors, shapes, textures, numbers, letters, animals, seasons, feelings, senses, nutrition, personal hygiene, manners, discipline, basic science and math concepts, as well as creative concepts such as pretend play, art, music, drama, and dance.
We pay close attention to the distinctive learning styles and various developmental stages of each child in order to foster growth and individuality. At ChooChoo Chicago, we believe that a fun and safe educational setting leads to healthy and happy child development.
