About Us – Petite Graine Preschool

About Petite Graine Preschool

Petite Graine Preschool started operations in 2015. Conceived based on the developmental stages of a child.

Accredited by the Department of Education, Petite Graine Preschool is situated in Eastwood City and provides spacious air-conditioned rooms with comfort rooms that are custom made for the size of the children. This was done in order to promote self-help skills related to their growing independence. Each room has age, and developmentally appropriate materials, as well as a print rich environment in order to engage curiosity and facilitates emergent literacy amongst the children.

Mainstreaming is the practice of educating students with disabilities in regular classes based on their individual skills. The school recognizes the individual needs of every child. Inclusive learning, strategies and teachings are being integrated to cater all student’s entitlement to a learning experience that respect diversity, enables participation, removes barriers and considers a variety of learning needs and preferences.

Curriculum

Our program follows a philosophical guideline known as the Developmental Interaction Approach. The basic principle is that the child needs to explore and then express his or her ideas through a variety of channels: imaginative play, group discussions, art, block building, and writing.

Play is seen as the child’s work. It is the means by which the child re-examines and re-creates everything they have experienced and observed. Play is purposeful, exceedingly important, and serious. The children’s choice of activities are treated as important explorations.

Social interactions are vital. It is important that children learn to be aware of their emotions, to identify and talk about them, to express their needs and problems and to be able to negotiate their resolution with other children, teachers and other adults. The teacher’s role is to facilitate the formation of friendships by encouraging and helping to negotiate interactions between children.

Our program boosts of open-ended materials: water, sand, playdough, blocks, puzzles, art materials, and the like. Center Time or Free play is generous, and even planned activities may sometimes give way to the children’s spontaneous interests. Individual portfolios, which document the children’s work, will be created as a means of assessment along with a Progress Report Card that contain the developmentally appropriate skills for each age/level.
