How we view preschool instruction...
At IKM-Manning, we focus on the whole child. When teaching, observing, and planning for our students, teachers consider the following developmental areas:
A REMINDER FOR PARENTS...
Learning in preschool occurs while we explore the room and participate in daily activities. Our shelves are filled with hands-on materials, and our days packed with planned experiences that cannot always be brought home in a backpack. We encourage you to talk to your child about the activities they do at school, the stories they hear, and who they played with each day. Be sure to read newsletters and other classroom communications to learn about activities happening day-to-day at preschool. We promise your child's days will be filled with learning; our goal is that those experiences feel like play to your child!
