Kristy's Little Learners Preschool
Welcome to Little Learners Preschool! The Playschool is a licensed Playschool that follows the guidelines of the Alberta Government, Child and Family Services.
The preschool is owned and operated by an experienced former Kindergarten Teacher, Kristy Guidinger. Kristy has taught Kindergarten in the Public School System for 10 years where she had formal training in; "Animated Literacy", "Power of 10", "6 Traits of Writing", "CARE Kit", "Critical Thinking" and planning that targets student engagement (UbD) and many more Professional Development opportunities that were specific to Early Childhood Education. Many of these programs are used within Parkland School Division.
Kristy earned her Bachelor of Education Degree at the University of Alberta (1999) with a focus on Early Childhood Education. She brings her years of experience into the preschool setting to offer children the skills and confidence helpful for entering Kindergarten. Kristy opened the Preschool in 2011.
The Playschool Program Offers:
An emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy skills taught through engaging activities and play. The program, "Jolly Phonics" is used as a teaching tool to teach the letters and sounds of the alphabet. The Jolly Phonics Program uses engaging stories, songs and actions for each individual letter. Kristy also provides printing experience for each individual letter for the 4 year old children. Children are proud to learn how to print their own names as well as learn letters that are not in their own name.
Children also gain a practical understanding of social skills that can only be taught through experience with peers. Children "learn through play," embrace their creativity during daily crafts and develop fine motor skills such as; using scissors, glue, printing, and following directions.
Opportunities for growth in independence skills which will prepare children for elementary school; unpacking and packing backpack, handling own lunch kit and belongings, taking off coat, shoes and putting them back on, etc. These are all practical experiences that will help your child feel confident when they go to Kindergarten and will need to do these tasks as independently as possible. Students are extremely proud to complete these tasks independently!
Preschool is an important year of growth; socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually for children. Kristy is excited to guide your child through many experiences that are unique to preschool aged children!
