OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM IS THE SOLE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF CARING-TON PRESCHOOL AND ENCOMPASSES MANY DEVELOPMENTAL AREAS. THESE AREAS ARE OFTEN COMBINED DURING INSTRUCTION AND THROUGHOUT THE PRESCHOOL DAY. THE PERSONAL-SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT DEALS WITH THE CHILD'S SELF-CONCEPT AND HIS OR HER INTERACTION WITH OTHERS. AESTHETIC DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES A WIDE VARIETY OF ART FORMS AN MATERIALS, AS WELL AS RHYTHM AND MUSIC ACTIVITIES. MOTOR DEVELOPMENT ENCOMPASSES LARGE AND SMALL MUSCLES AS WELL AS EYE-HAND COORDINATION. LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IS A LARGE AREA INCLUDING LISTENING SKILLS, MEMORY, TELLING AND ROLE PLAYING STORIES, AND LEARNING TO COMMUNICATE MORE FLUENTLY.
