Welcome Families!

Bears

Ages: 2 ½ – 3 ½ years

Learning Together’s Bears classroom educates up to18 children who are eager and ready to learn and explore the world around them. This inclusive classroom is designed to teach children how to communicate effectively with their peers as their vocabulary is becoming stronger and stronger. We teach them how to use words to solve conflict, how to recognize and deal with emotions, and how to become a good friend. These foundational skills will be important throughout their lives. If your child is not very talkative, that is likely to change soon in the Bears classroom. At this age your children will be learning between 250 – 500 words, answer and ask simple questions, speak in small sentence, although they may not be fully comprehensible until age 4, and tell stories. Support services offered to children include Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and consultation from our Healthcare Consultant

Giraffes

Ages: 3 – 4 years

This classroom has been designed to serve children 3 to 4 years of age. While we guide the very young as they learn and play, we also share our expertise with parents. By actively participating in their children’s early education, parents enhance their development and create strong family bonds. Through our play-based approach, social-emotional skills begin to blossom where children begin to offer to share materials and space with classmates without encouragement or prompting from an adult. Support services offered are Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and consultation from our Healthcare nurse.

Bumblebees

Ages 3-5 years

Our Bumblebees classroom is for children 3-5 years of age. We serve up to 18 children in this classroom with 3 teachers. Children in this classroom are becoming more independent and beginning to focus on developing their social/emotional skills to play interactively with their peers. Perseverance is the ability to overcome obstacles to achieve a goal, which is essential to children’s success in school and in life. In the play-based preschool classroom, children develop this crucial trait by engaging in learning activities and sticking with them until they solve the problem or complete the project. Children in this age range will learn school-readiness skills, as well as furthering their communication skills by building their vocabularies and expanding their language skills. Through our play-based approach, social-emotional skills begin to blossom where children begin to offer to share materials and space with classmates without encouragement or prompting from an adult.

Kangaroos

Ages 4-5 years

Our Kangaroos classroom is a smaller size classroom that serves up to 10 children ages 4 to 5. As children grow into early childhood, their world will begin to open up. They will become more independent and begin to focus more on adults and children outside of the family. They will want to explore and ask about the things around them even more. Their interactions with family and those around them will help to shape their personality and their own ways of thinking and moving. During this stage, children will be learning to ride a tricycle, use safety scissors, help to dress, and undress themselves, play with other children, recall part of a story, and sing a song. Support services offered to children include Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and consultation from our Healthcare Consultant.

Owls

Ages 4-5 years

Our Owls Classroom is our Pre-K classroom which partners with Wake County Smart Start to provide Pre-K services to children getting ready to enter Kindergarten. This classroom houses up to 18 children and has 3 staff members. School-Readiness skills include, demonstrating executive function skills by thoughtfully developing a strategy for performing a task and then finishing it; classifying objects by color, size or shape and then reclassifying them by a distinctly different characteristic, which help to develop critical-thinking skills; and using math concepts by counting from 10 to 20 accurately and by grouping and regrouping objects. Through our play-based approach, children are learning how to remain focused on a task even when other activities are going on around them. They are further developing critical-thinking skills by solving problems and proposing alternate solutions without needing to experiment with or use every possible solution. Children are learning how to demonstrate social-emotional intelligence by controlling their emotional responses and considering a friend’s idea when it is different from their own. Support services offered are Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and consultation from our Healthcare nurse.
