PRESCHOOL LEARNING PROGRAM
The CP Kids Preschool Program is for children ages 3 to 5 years old. In the preschool program, children are learning through play in a balance of child-directed and teacher-facilitated activities. Located within Fairfield County's premier sports center, CP Kids offers a unique preschool learning experience.
Each day allots time for developing pre-reading and writing skills, exercising creativity, developing mathematical and spatial sense, dramatic play, art projects, music, sensory activities, self-expression and physical education. Part of the preschool curriculum is ensuring readiness for kindergarten, teaching children the necessary skills to conduct themselves in a group, be confident and independent, and have a base knowledge on which to build their education. The children participate in daily extracurricular activities including the Chelsea Piers Multi-sport program, Creative Movement dance, Mindful Movement (a practice similar to yoga), Splash Zone, music instruction, and Spanish class. CP Kids preschool children also have the opportunity to sign up for additional Chelsea Piers sports classes from 3:00-6:00pm to attend with their classmates and the CP Kids staff facilitates drop-off and pick-up. Throughout the school year, CP Kids hosts a variety of family participation experiences to allow for parents to participate in their child’s learning experiences and to strengthen the bonds within our school’s community.
