Preschool Classrooms
in NW Houston and Spring
Linder
Learning
Land
has two and sometimes three separate Preschool classrooms. Not agreeing
with the Texas
regulation that allows an eighteen month age span in one classroom, LLL
divides our younger and older preschoolers.
Convenient Location
We are conveniently located for parents in Northwest Houston and Spring at
14600 Gladebrook, just off FM 1960 West.

Early Preschool - 2 to 3 Years Old
The younger preschool
classroom is for children who are barely 3 years old, having just turned 3
during the late summer months before September 1st ( the day
that the Texas
public schools have chosen to determine grade placement).
Preschool is when what are thought of as "traditional" academics are started. Yes, LLL is
advanced in its academic teaching. Parents will continue to receive their
Family Newsletter.
The monthly thematic
units of the Terrific Three's level of the award-winning High Reach
Learning curriculum series in the younger preschool classes integrates
mathematics and reading while focusing on:
-
Phonemic awareness and letter recognition
-
Awareness of print and early reading concepts
-
Number
recognition and early math concepts
Of course, all the other
components of your child's day (music, singing, dancing, and indoor and
outside play) will continue.
Your child will
also
start participating in Linder Learning Land's own separate classes of
Arts and Crafts and Motion and Movement.
Preschool - 3 Years Old
Linder
Learning
Land's
older preschool classroom is for children who turn four years of age just
after September 1st, so they are the older three's. Most of the
children in this class turn four during the fall months.
Advanced Learning
The preschool class is taught utilizing the
Butterflies level of the award-winning High Reach Learning curriculum
series which is the prekindergarten, or four year old, level.
Teaching groups are formed and the teachers rotate the children depending
upon the subject or activity and children are encouraged to participate.
Of course if a child is not quite ready, he will receive special attention
and reassurance until he feels comfortable.
Remember: Linder
Learning Land strongly believes that if a child likes school, then he or
she will be successful, regardless of his/her academic abilities.
Self-esteem is a primary concern at all times.
Unique in its room arrangement, the older preschool class utilizes two separate but
attached classrooms. One classroom is arranged with learning centers
and the other classroom is arranged more like a traditional classroom.
LLL encourages your child
to learn through a balance of exploration play and more traditional
teacher-directed activities. By having two different classrooms, your
child will start the transformation from a more "play school" environment
to a classroom environment.
Your child will learn:
-
Phonemic sounds and
letter recognition
-
Early reading concepts
-
Number recognition
-
Science
-
Social Studies
-
Critical thinking
skills such as predicting, recalling events and sequencing
-
Spatial conception
-
Symbols
-
Beginning writing
skills
-
Math concept such as
sorting, classification, measuring, simple problem solving
Your preschool-age child will
also begin
participating in LLL's Spanish class and will continue to be part
of our Arts and Crafts class and our Movement and Motion class.
"We have really enjoyed
our years at Linder; you have taken good care of all of us (including me
when totally frustrated trying to raise my "active one" and the twins!)
and you all will truly be missed. My children have developed a strong
foundation to build upon and will be confident enough to do well no matter
where they are. Every teacher we've had has been wonderful! I feel like we're leaving part of our family, but it is time to move on to the next
era as William will be attending first grade in the fall." - G. Gray
