The Anthony School Early Childhood Program includes three-year-olds and
Pre-K students. Both full-day and half-day programs are offered; three-year-olds
also have the option of attending on Tuesday/Thursday, Monday/Wednesday/Friday,
or Monday through Friday.
The Early Childhood curriculum and learning centers are planned not only
to be developmentally appropriate, but also to allow each child to have
opportunities to learn through a variety of experiences. Classrooms and
schedules are designed to include opportunities for students to participate
in group activities and lessons, as well as to make choices for individual
learning or free time. A great deal of student interaction allows development
of appropriate social behavior as stated in the school's philosophy. Class
sizes remain small in order to accommodate group or individual instruction.
Classes in which the children participate include Physical Education,
Music, Spanish, Library, Art and Computer along with the usual classroom
activities.
Student progress is evaluated in a variety of ways. Teachers use regular
observation during group and individual activities as well as individual
work portfolios and skills checklists. Progress is reported to parents
in conferences three times during the school year (fall, winter, spring).
Teachers are also available for parent conferences at any other time during
the year if an individual need arises. There is regular communication
between teachers and parents occurs via class notes, weekly newsletters,
or e-mail.
The Early Childhood program at The Anthony School provides a happy environment
where children have fun and enjoy their learning experience. Emphasis
is placed not only on academic development, but also on physical, social,
and emotional development.
