Tower Day School

The focus of our 2.9 and 3 year old classrooms is definitely social emotional development. Using the learning areas listed above, the teachers spend time helping the children play together, learn to share, use their words, begin to take responsibility for their personal objects, and become comfortable being away from home. In general, they are socialized to “life in a classroom”. Although social emotional development is a factor throughout early childhood, our four year old classes also have an eye on the educational skills necessary for literacy and other academic development. There are many language activities at Tower Day School. Children are exposed to new vocabulary, descriptive words, re-telling of events and other activities to increase their oral language skills. Our students use every math operation that adults use. They do simple addition and subtraction, make graphs, estimate, predict, form sets, etc. Needless to say, these are all completed in a very hands on manner.
