February Talk with Ms. Tammy: 

We invite all future and current families to take a tour of our program.  Come and see our Preschool "in action".  The total growth of the child is our goal.  We believe through love and acceptance, learning is naturally fostered.  Our children learn through play, but all activities have an education objective and purpose.  In the article below, we have highlighted our focus on literacy and math.

Built into our preschool day, is also time for artisitic expression, musical appreciation, physical education and dramatic arts.  In addition to what we provide inside the classroom, we offer 2 specials a week for all our students:  Story Time with Mrs. Patty, where our books come alive, and Music and Movement with Mrs. Malysa, where we wiggle and play our instruments.  Our Threes, Fours and Pre-K classes also receive beginning foreign language instruction through Spanish with Senora Nora.  Once a month, we have guest teacher come in for PE day where we work those large muscles important for healty physical development.

CUMP is a happy place to be, where children can gain independence needed to tackle the amazing world around them.  Come an see all we have to offer.

At CUMP, we pride ourselves on the emphasis we put on early literacy and pre-reading skills.  Our story time focuses on the parts of a story (character, setting, problem and solution), vocabulary introduction, and comprehension and retelling.  All ages participate in shared reading where the teacher leads a daily mini lesson using a short poem to highlight specific skills (letter identification, sight word recognition, etc.)

Building competence in math is another goal at CUMP.  Our classrooms offer numerous opportunites throughout the day to promote mathematical thinking.  Our curriculum focuses on the 5 key components of math: number concepts, patterns, geometry, measurement, and graphing.  When our children build towers in our block centers, they are recognizing simple geometric shapes and gain spatial sense - all the while having fun.
