Victor Early Childhood Center is located at 953 High Street Victor, NY and provides education to grades PK in Ontario County. The staff members are committed to providing the best possible learning environment for young children. Kindergarten language arts instruction is organized around five combined components of reading and writing. Instruction includes time for read-aloud, independent reading and shared reading, in which the teacher reads a story with the class. Children build their writing skills by receiving direct daily instruction from the teacher and by having many opportunities to write.
All of this instruction contributes in complementary ways to the literacy development of young children. The goal of the math curriculum is to help students develop problem-solving skills that will serve lifelong learning. In addition to traditional fundamental arithmetic skills, our teachers ask children to use multiple and creative problem-solving strategies, reason logically and communicate mathematical information effectively. Kindergartners are also exposed to social studies, science, health, music, art, physical education, and library media services.
Children are encouraged to use creativity, imagination, problem-solving skills, social interaction and fine and gross motor skills throughout the day. Putting children in charge of their own activities and materials will assist in the development of independence and basic skills, increase self-esteem, and promote feelings of competence. These stations consist of the math and puzzle center, dramatic play center, science center, block center, writing center, reading center and art center.
