Denver Cooperative Preschool's (DCP) Pre-Kindergarten class fosters pre-reading skills (phonemic awareness, letter recognition, story composition through dictation, writing and recognizing names); math skills (pattern making, understanding the meaning of numerals, sequencing and rhythm); introductory science concepts (weather, plant/animal life, gravity and cooking); and creativity (music, movement, arts and crafts) in a dynamic play environment. The teachers and parent helper realize and celebrate each child's social, emotional and academic growth. Children have many opportunities to explore and learn. Our well-equipped learning centers are designed to expand childhood play, building a strong foundation for future academic achievement.
By the end of the year, children are familiar with a variety of literature, math concepts, writing skills and world awareness. Pre-reading opportunities, sensory experiences, increased expectations for self control and ample practice in building friendships are also fostered. Self-directed play in the classroom encourages social interactions with peers and reinforces negotiation and cooperation skills. Children begin to understand their own feelings and those of others, while developing the skills to express them in a socially acceptable manner. Friendships are built through shared experiences both inside and outside the classroom.
