Excellent Childcare in Local Childcare Center

 Quality and Exceptional Childcare Program in Queens

Let's take a few minutes to look at some great moments in one of our 3 year old classrooms. Here is just another example of excellent educational programs in action.

Ms. Alina's students have been engaged in some wonderful activities throughout the month of February and March.

They were proud to show off their Valentine's hearts and then go on with their morning routines.

 

 
As the days rolled on, we joined in what many local daycares would be celebrating for March. You got it! Green day for St. Patrick's day. Students in our Queens childcare facility experienced making their own hats, learning all about making the color green and enjoying some green goodies as well. We celebrate Ms. Alina's unique gift to teach our students with creativity and understanding of what they need during their development at this age.

 There are so many childcare providers in Queens, NY but we take pride in sharing the great things that make us exceptional. Do your research, and you will find that our childcare program in the local NY area is definitely amazing!

PRESCHOOL DISCOVERY AT ABC

 

Blog Written By Angeline Duran

 

 

Have you ever been somewhere and loved being there so much, you just didn't want to leave? Well, maybe that's what happens when your child is a student in Ms. Sylvia's classroom. Let's explore the reasons why.


Every day Ms. Sylvia has something new to ask her students. All that great fun starts with a question. This question gets students to start thinking, predicting, coming up with ideas on what is going to happen and what can be done to make something happen.



The classroom's daily agenda is filled with hands on experimentation and exploration. Students are not just sitting around with worksheets, tracing the same letter they learned in September. No, they are developing as thinkers, as readers, as mathematicians and as learners should at their age.





 If you've been taking the time to talk to your children at home, you'll discover that their language and their vocabulary has been dramatically increasing over the past weeks. You'll also notice that homework has become a fun-filled family adventure where you get to learn and explore right along with your child.



For TRANSPORTATION theme this month, students have been having a wonderful time with parents creating their transportation items. Some were made of wood, some float and some look like they are ready to fly away.


Students were so excited to bring their
amazing projects to school. It was a
very special "Show and Tell" as well as
"Let's discover all we can about this
mode of transportation."


Ms. Sylvia's planning is full of
age appropriate activities. Students
are learning and exploring while
developing physically, emotionally
and cognitively.


Ms. Sylvia and Ms. Lidiya's classroom is an example of what great teaching looks like. It is a place where students are
nurtured and loved as they develop
a love for learning on their own
through their ongoing experiences
in the classroom with their peers
and continue to connect their learning
at home with their families.

We are happy to be able to take the
time to share these great moments
in your child's life. It is our hope that
you will see just how much time and
dedication goes into making each
hour of the day a very special one.

SHADOW PUPPET SHOWCASE

On a snowy day like today, you'd think students are not having a fun day while they are in school. Well, I beg to differ and you will, too. Walk with me please, into Ms. Crystal and Ms. Flor's classroom. Come inside and be in awe with just some of the great things taking place in their classroom.

 

 

The Unit for February is Light and Shadows. You'd think in Preschool, this theme is either too hard or boring. But, take a look and you'll discover that some of the most amazing things have been taking place this week.

 

 

For example, Ms. Crystal has created a wonderful "Shadow Puppet Theatre" where students are given free creative rights to put on shadow puppet stories. Here you will find Ms. Crystal narrating, "The Three Little Pigs". Students were never told what to do. They used their imagination and creativity to put on a "4 Star" performance for their classmates. These photos are proof that happy moments are non-stop in Classroom #1.

Well, the snow has stopped outdoors but indoors, our students are still looking forward to wonderful things coming their way. Maybe you can create your own puppet theatre at home and have as much of a wonderful adventure storytelling as your children have in class this week. Enjoy.

SNOW FUN IN MS. KIM'S CLASS

 

I know that you wish you could be here right now and see what I am looking at. Snow. Lots of snow. But, not only snow, Ms. Kim's students are enjoying this beautiful snow right in the comfort of their classroom. Well, let's give a shout out to Ms. Darlene who went out into out snow covered playground and scooped up all this wonderful snow for our students.

Why is this a great activity to do with our preschoolers?

This is a time where they are learning through play and exploration. I began to ask them, "What is this? Is this mashed potatoes?" Giggles. "No! It's not mashed potatoes!" "Oh, I know, this is ice cream." I said again. "No, it's not ice cream!" was the reply.

"How does it feel?" I heard Ms. Kim asking the children to think, to wonder, to feel and explore the texture that was before them. This is how they learn, they remember and they come home talking about amazing moments in their classroom.

LET IS SNOW Rm#7

 

      Students in Room#7 were busy making snow in a warm classroom. Hey! That snow wasn't melting! Of course not, it's white paint and cotton balls for snowflakes. These children were enjoying working together, sharing, and creating their winter scene.

 

 

 

 

 

 

      Here's one student who was so proud of his work he made sure I took his photograph. Yes, Dylan, we are so proud of your amazing snow scene.

ALL ABOUT TRANSPORTATION Rm.#1

 
Students in Ms. Crystal's classroom were busy identifying all modes of transportation when I visited this morning. Ms. Crystal had a collection of transportation toys available as well as a ton of questions to really get students to think about their answers.

I remember yesterday morning when I was there, she has a wonderful chart she was putting together with her students that showed not only the different kinds of transportation, but where we would find them- AIR, WATER, LAND. This month's theme is all about getting from one place to another. As you spend time with your child this month, ask them to be on the look out for all kinds of traveling modes. Ask them to look up into the sky and tell you what they see. Ask them, "How come we don't see the airplane moving on the street?" or "Can we take a bus on a cloud? Tell me why or tell me more about why you think that."

Our learning moments are filled with so much, and music and movement don't stay behind. I loved it when I saw this great song up for students to use throughout their day.
Ask your child to teach you this song and maybe together you may want to add more transportation forms. Enjoy.

TRANSPORTATION Rm #3

 

      Students in Ms. Ella's class were immersed in finger painting their favorite mode of transportation. They had just finished their morning circle time where they've been learning all about the many different kinds of transportation in our city. Just look at the chart at the bottom of this blog and you will be amazed at some of the words students will be able to share the moment you ask a question in regards to transportation.

 

I was listening to some of the conversations taking place in the classroom and some students were sharing about the details they were making or adding to their painting. Alessandro was showing me his truck and Quinn was working on making a jet airplane. I guess my favorite moment was when they  needed more of a visual reminder of what their mental image looked like and they asked Ms. Ella for assistance. It was a great moment to hear her pull them back and use each moment as a learning experience, taking them once more to the classroom chart.

 

Alessandro added details to his truck.

 

He was so proud to share with me his gigantic truck.

 

Quinn was really engaged with his jet but wanted to really add more details and make it so much more like the one on the classroom chart. He was completely engaged in conversation with Ms. Ella about what shapes could be used to really make his jet come to life.

 

Students were referring back to the classroom chart, to the lessons they've had this week, and reviewing conversations about transportation with Ms. Ella and one another. As a school that has been chosen to have the Social and Emotional Track this year, I am a witness to the wonderful ways students are working together, reaching out to help one another, listening to each other and making one another feel really important when they ask questions, have something to say or have something like their amazing work to share. Great job, teachers!!!!
