Program Information
Program Goals
Build on the knowledge that students have already created by exposing them to science, math, art, problem solving and social skills. We are part of the KC Ready 4's program and use the Creative Curriculum in the preschool classroom. The preschool program is split into two different classrooms; our 3 year old preschool class and our Kindergarten Readiness class, for those going into Kindergarten the following year.
Teachers
Miss Karrah is the lead teacher in our 3 year old classroom. She is currently working towards her CDA in Preschool and has been working with us for over 2 years. She trained extensively with the previous preschool teacher, before taking over. Miss Grace B. is the lead teacher in our Kindergarten Readiness classroom. She has an Associate's and a Bachelor's degree and has worked extensively with children prior to joining us here at Little Daffodils. All staff are trained in CPR and first aid, and take 24 hours of annual child development training. All aide staff are under the supervision of the lead teachers.
