Preschool

Mission of Todd County Preschool

It is the mission of Todd County Preschool to provide a fully integrated preschool program which fosters the growth and development of all children in the areas of social emotional development, self- help/adaptive behavior, motor development, cognition, and communication. Teachers collaborate with families, staff members, and therapists to provide program experiences which nurture and encourage fun, warmth, security, exploration, and creativity in all children. Skills to promote development will be integrated and embedded into the daily preschool routine which includes: arrival, meals, large and small group activities, music and movement experiences, gross motor play, story time, free-choice time (learning centers), and dismissal. A combination of child-directed and teacher-directed activities take place daily.
