Philosophy of the
Fayette County Pre-K Program |
The philosophy of the
Fayette County Pre-Kindergarten Program is that each child will be
successful in a developmentally appropriate environment, which allows each
child to attain his/her maximum potential.
Based on our philosophy, the following goals have been written to insure
that each child is given an equal opportunity to reach his/her potential:
- to establish a
language-rich environment
- to provide
hands-on experiences that develop process skills
- to instill a love
of learning
- to enhance the
development of a positive self-concept
- to maintain a
positive classroom environment that fosters social and emotional growth

Transition from
Preschool to Kindergarten |
The children have the benefit of attending
preschool in an elementary school. This plays a large factor in the success
of transition because students know the school procedures, routines and
behavioral expectations. By kindergarten, the students will have attended
all specials, which include music, art, media, technology and physical
education. Students have the opportunity to eat in the school cafeteria and
will have had the experience of riding on a bus. Students will
have socialized at recess and will be familiar with the playground.
 In addition, the teachers will assist parents in completing the necessary
paperwork for kindergarten registration and the required forms. During the
spring, the children are reevaluated if needed and a developmental checklist
is completed to give to the receiving teacher. Peer mentors from previous
preschool years tutor in the classrooms. The preschoolers also visit
kindergarten classes to prepare them for the following year. Kindergarten
shadowing has proven to be very helpful for the students.
The preschool teachers help the school administration complete class
assignments based on the needs of the student. Social stories are written
for individual students to read over the summer to help prepare them for the
transition. Packets are provided to the parents based on the developmental
domains and kindergarten readiness to help bridge the gap over the summer. |
