Welcome to the Dearborn Early Learning Center Preschool Program! We believe children grow best when they feel safe, loved, and understood. Our caring teachers support each child through an Individualized Learning Plan that is tailored to their developmental stage, learning style, and goals—so they can build skills and confidence at their own pace. We offer flexible scheduling with 2-day, 3-day, and 5-day options.
Our back-to-basics curriculum focuses on the development of early readers through the use of the “Zoo Phonics” reading program. The foundation of our program is based on our belief that children develop at different levels. An “individualized learning plan” is developed for each child so that they are able to work at their own pace with the focus being on challenging each child. Each day your child will work with one of the teachers on the material that he/she needs practice with. Depending on your child’s level, materials may include the following: letter and sound recognition, colors, shapes, sight word readers, phonics readers, reading comprehension & sight words.
Our back-to-basics math readiness curriculum provides children with hands-on learning experiences that build strong foundational skills, including: shape, color, and number recognition; sorting and visual discrimination; extending patterns; counting objects; comparing numbers; simple graphing; basic addition and subtraction; and proper number formation.
