Stepping Stones Home Child Care, Inc.

Preschool Program

Creative Curriculum for family child care focuses on children’s growth and development from birth to 12 years of age.  SSHCC employees understand children’s development, good environments, how to manage the day, and working with children.  The Illinois Early Learning Standards and Handwriting Without Tears are the foundation for our preschool program for students ages 3-5 years old.  Below is an outline of our preschool program.

To maintain consistency with our full- and part-time students, our 2011-2012 Preschool Calendar and Workbook will be available upon a monthly basis.
 
 
Workbook Tips:
  • Have your child watch you write the letter or number on the back of their workbook sheet with a highlighter; child should trace then try without tracing.  Encourage to repeat and include lowercase when ready.
  • The first page of every workbook is a spot for your child's name.  This can be very intimidating to your child (imagine trying to write your name without knowing the letters in it).  Please remember to use a highlighter and have your child trace their name until all letters in their name are learned or they are comfortable writing their name by themselves.
