Preschool
The Dennis Early Education Center serves preschool children ages 3 to 5 and their families. With nature as it's theme, opportunities are provided for children to engage in a variety of learning activities both indoors and out. Through active learning, the children are encouraged to use materials safely, make appropriate choices, improve language, and develop a sense of independence and self-esteem. Through observation of the children as they work and learn, their development is noted by use of a performance-based, portfolio assessment which is aligned with the Illinois Early Learning Standards. |
