is all about!
Great Beginnings is home to one of the Georgia’s largest
programs with five Pre-K classes and 100 children.
The Georgia Pre-K program provides appropriate activities
and learning experiences that help prepare young children
for school. Georgia Pre-K is designed to promote school readiness,
meaning that children are socially, emotionally, physically,
and cognitively prepared for success in kindergarten.
The Georgia Pre-K Program helps children become independent,
self-confident, enthusiastic learners. Participation in the
program encourages children to develop good habits and daily
routines.
The Georgia Pre-K Program encourages teachers to adopt child-centered
instructional practices based on the interests and the skill
levels of each child. Research shows that children benefit
most when instruction is child-centered. Child-centered instruction
allows teachers to facilitate learning in a rich environment
that fosters children’s initiative, exploration, and collaborative
interaction with other children and adults.
Pre-K Curriculum typical includes but is not limited to:
• Morning Circle: Roll Call, Weather and Pledge of Allegiance
• Phonological Awareness: ABC Games
• Centers: Legos & Blocks, Math & Manipulatives, Science,
Computer, Listening Center, Art, Puzzles, Multicultural Center,
Sensory
• Music & Movement
• Reading & Writing
• Story Time
• Outside Activities
Parents are encouraged to become involved in what their child
is learning and experiencing in Pre-K. Because your participation
contributes to your child’s success in school, a parent is
a child’s first and most important teacher. Great Beginnings
is here to make your job easier.
