Why Choose Our Services
A Pre-K Program You Can Trust
At the Teddy Bear Village, we believe in setting up our little cubs for success in school and beyond. Our Pre-Kindergarten programs at both Fountain Street and Trolley Village are designed to fully prepare your child for Kindergarten while keeping them engaged, excited, and beary happy.
Our bilingual Pre-K Programs are monitored by Kindercam so parents can see their child in real-time learning, exploring, and growing. Parents also have access to the MyKidzDay mobile app that gives them insight into their child’s day, schedule, and more.
What’s the Difference Between Pre-K & Preschool?
Preschool typically refers to early education programs designed for children aged two to four years old. These programs focus on developing social skills, fostering creativity, and introducing basic academic concepts through play-based activities. Our two Framingham Preschools provide a nurturing environment where children learn through exploration and hands-on experiences.
Our Pre-K programs, on the other hand, focus on preparing children for Kindergarten by incorporating more structured curriculum and academic instruction. Our Pre-K Programs aim to enhance children’s literacy, numeracy, and cognitive skills, setting the stage for future academic success.
Reading Rookies
Reading is fundamental to your child’s development, and our Pre-K Programs are designed to give them a strong start. We recognize the critical role that early literacy plays in shaping young minds, which is why our curriculum is crafted to nurture a love for reading from the very beginning. Our Pre-K Program is curated to accommodate literary aptitude with plenty of comfortable reading areas where children can immerse themselves in a world of stories and knowledge. These cozy, inviting spaces are filled with a diverse selection of age-appropriate books, encouraging children to explore various genres and topics that spark their curiosity. Our dedicated teachers engage in read-aloud sessions, interactive storytelling, and phonics-based activities with children to build foundational reading skills and comprehension. By fostering an environment rich in literacy experiences, we aim to develop confident readers who are prepared for the academic challenges ahead.
Math Mania
Our Pre-K Program introduces more advanced mathematical concepts to our little learners in a more structured manner. Not only will your child learn how to count double and even triple-digit numbers, but they will also master the essential concepts of quantity such as “less” and “more”. Our little cubs use various counting manipulatives to introduce number operations such as addition and subtraction. After completing our Program, your child will be well-prepared for the mathematical concepts introduced in Kindergarten. Don’t be surprised if your child starts counting at home!
Proper Playtime
Playtime is a crucial component of our educational approach, offering children a joyful and dynamic environment where learning and fun go hand in hand. In our Pre-K Program, kids engage in a variety of activities that foster physical, social, and cognitive development. From imaginative play in our well-equipped play areas to collaborative games that teach teamwork and problem-solving skills, our Program is designed to encourage creativity and exploration. Through play, children not only develop essential life skills but also build friendships and confidence, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning.
