The Grinnell College Preschool is a research laboratory for students and faculty that provides a learning environment that supports children to develop skills necessary to construct their own knowledge and prepare them for their next school environment.
The Grinnell College Preschool program uses developmentally appropriate practices to provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where children develop physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. The program also supports the relationship between children, their families and the preschool staff.
The program provides an innovative curriculum with materials, experiences and teaching methods that are grounded in the National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) principles of child development including age and individual appropriateness. The Grinnell College Preschool received accreditation from NAEYC in April 2004.
All learning activities are presented through play. These activities engage the children so they can explore, experiment, imitate, ask questions and be questioned to further their thinking and problem solving skills
.
Grinnell College Preschool will provide interactions and experiences to help children to:
- Develop socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively;
- Develop problem solving skills;
- Develop conflict resolution skills; and
- Be a member of the preschool community.
