Curriculum
Small introduction:
My name is Sonja LeBlanc. I may be a familiar face, as I have been teaching Kinder Kollege and Preschool classes at Anna's Bananas since 2008. I am excited to announce that I am the new Curriculum Coordinator for all three Anna’s Bananas Daycare and Preschool Centers!
To tell you a little about my educational background, I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education K-6 with a Specialty in Early Childhood Education. Through my education and career I have worked with children 6 weeks through 12 years of age. With my education and past experience of working with children, I am eager to positively foster your child’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development as they grow with the Anna’s Bananas family.
About Our Curriculum
Our preschool’s well-rounded educational program includes engaging hands-on math, science, reading/phonics, and writing activities to promote your little scholar’s intellectual growth and kindergarten readiness!
Our curriculum also incorporates sign language for children all ages, and foreign language, including Spanish, German, and Japanese, for children 3 years and older.
The art studio is a fun atmosphere, where students can practice their fine motor skills and express their creativity. Students are encouraged to explore our wide varieties of mediums and techniques as they create art projects. Because students show great pride in their work, teachers regularly put student’s crafts on display!
To support our students’ large motor development and kinesthetic learning, Anna’s Bananas Daycare and Preschool facilities include gymnasiums, a dance studio, and playgrounds were children can explore and exercise their imagination through discovery!
By extending our kindergarteners’ learning time into the morning and afternoon, we provide an enriched educational program with interactive math, science, reading, writing, and art activities. Our school-age classroom provides a social and playful environment that builds friendships and encourages interpersonal skills!
Our littlest ones flourish in a loving and nurturing environment with all the comforts of home, and the attention of our devoted staff! Throughout their learning experience, they will be introduced to lots of sensory stimulation, songs, nursery rhymes, sign language, and shelves full of engaging toys which are ready for exploration!
With accredited resources, highly skilled teaching staff, and my educational background and experience, you can be assured your child will be part of an exceptional, well-rounded educational program!
