The basic philosophy of the Cresskill Cooperative Preschool, which was established in 1984, is to provide our students with a comfortable, supportive environment where they are encouraged to explore, play, and grow.
For all our 3 year old and 4 year old classes, we provide the time and opportunity to develop:
Social Skills- sharing, taking turns, working in both large and small groups, table manners.
Imaginative Play- through the use of puppets, dress-up clothes, kitchen, store, art center, vehicles, and block areas.
Simple Basic Academic Skills- through the use of manipulatives, puzzles, investigating colors, shapes, seasons, holidays and weather- all in an age appropriate atmosphere.
the 4 year old class also spends time learning...
Reading Readiness Skills- letter names and sounds, numbers, left to right progression. All in a fun, non-pressured way.
