Structured Pre-K Education in
Woodbury, MN
Welcome to Peace of Mind’s Pre-Kindergarten Program in Woodbury, MN
Mission to Foster Growth in a Safe, Nurturing Environment
At Peace of Mind, we believe every child deserves a strong start, and our prekindergarten (pre-K) program is designed to build a solid foundation for lifelong learning.
Preparing Young Learners for Kindergarten Success
We focus on a balanced approach that integrates academic readiness, social skills, and emotional resilience to prepare children for kindergarten. Below, we’ll detail our structured pre-K education in Woodbury, Minnesota, and how you can enroll your children at Peace of Mind.
Program Structure and Curriculum
Literacy and Language Development
The foundation of our pre-K curriculum is language. We focus on building vocabulary, gaining phonemic awareness, and developing early reading skills through various activities designed to make reading fun and accessible. Each day includes story time sessions, book reading, and letter recognition exercises, each of which encourages children to engage with language in different ways. We especially cherish story time, as it allows children to use their imaginations while also building essential learning and comprehension skills. Through our language development activities, children gain confidence in their communication skills and become better prepared for kindergarten.
Early Math and Science Exploration
At Peace of Mind, we introduce children to basic math concepts, such as counting, shapes, and patterns, through hands-on learning activities. We also conduct simple science experiments to spark their curiosity about the world around them. Our activities encourage children to observe, ask questions, and make predictions, helping them to engage these concepts in a tangible and playful way.
Social and Emotional Skills
In our pre-K program, we create many opportunities for children to practice essential social skills. Group activities are designed to teach sharing, taking turns, and working together to solve problems. We encourage children to express their emotions in a healthy way, with our teachers always there to guide them. By building these skills early, children can grow into kind, confident individuals who are ready to navigate the social aspects of kindergarten.
Creative Expression and Arts
At Peace of Mind, we celebrate your child’s creativity through various artistic outlets. Our program includes regular art projects through which children can explore their creativity with different techniques and materials. We also use music, dance, and dramatic play throughout the weekly schedule to allow kids to express themselves and build confidence in a supportive environment.
Learning Environment and Classrooms
Engaging, Safe Classrooms for Inclusive Learning
We’ve designed each classroom to promote engagement and a sense of belonging. Our child-friendly spaces feature easily accessible learning materials, diverse resources, books, and images that reflect the variety of backgrounds within our community. We aim to make each classroom a welcoming and safe space where children can feel secure and develop a positive attitude toward learning.
Daily Routine and Structure
Group Activities – Circle Time and Collaborative Learning
Our days start with circle time, where children gather to discuss the plans for the day, share stories, and connect with their classmates. Group sessions are an essential part of our program, as they allow children to work together on projects, practice teamwork, and build a sense of community.
Individualized Learning Opportunities
In addition to group activities, our teachers work closely with children during one-on-one sessions to help them develop at their own pace. These individual sessions ensure that we can nurture and celebrate each child’s progress based on their unique strengths.
Outdoor Play and Physical Activity
Outdoor play is a valuable time for children to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the experience of being outside. Our spacious play areas provide room for running, climbing, and exploring, helping children develop their motor skills, build social connections, and gain an appreciation for active play.
Rest and Relaxation
After a busy morning of learning and playing, we provide a quiet time for children to rest. For children who don’t nap, we offer activities such as reading or quiet play, giving everyone a chance to relax. This balance of activity and rest is essential in helping children maintain focus and enthusiasm throughout the day.
Health and Safety Policies
Support for Family Communication
Parent-Teacher Conferences
We know how important it is for parents to stay connected with their child’s progress. Regular parent-teacher conferences give parents the opportunity to discuss their child’s development and ask any questions.
Daily Updates via Kindertales App
We also provide daily updates through the Kindertales app, which allows parents to stay informed about meals, activities, and any other notable events. We believe this level of transparency and communication helps us form a strong partnership with parents, ensuring everyone is aligned in supporting the child’s growth.
