Curriculum
The environment at Plymouth Schoolhouse is full of purposeful activities, is aesthetically
pleasing, and has order. Children at The Plymouth Schoolhouse have the opportunity to use hands-on materials that teach early skills.
Dramatic Play
The dramatic play area provides children with the opportunity to imitate real life using
child-sized materials that encourage socialization, self-expression and self-help skills.
The repetition of specific tasks such as dressing-up and tying shoes helps children gain
self-confidence and coordination.
Sensory Discovery
This dynamic area provides children with the opportunity to manipulate and explore
materials that isolate specific qualities of art and science that promote sensory-
perception and integration. While fine- tuning their senses, children learn concrete
concepts such as heavy/light, large/small, rough/smooth, loud/soft. Students will
explore everything from light and color to magnetism and weather.
Process-oriented Art
Schoolhouse students will find the art area to be a great outlet for self-expression and
visual and sensory exploration. Children create amazing pieces while learning about the
basic elements of art including color, value (light/dark), texture, and shape. When
children are engaged in the artistic process they are able to expand basic concepts of art
elements, as well as language, and problem-solving skills.
Music & Movement
The center for music & movement presents children with the opportunity to socialize
with their teacher and classmates while they develop visual, auditory, and kinesthetic
awareness. Group activities encourage a positive self-image and help children gain a
sense of self-direction and independent thinking.
