Our Mission:
Creating a foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Our Approach:
- Findlay City Schools Preschool is a Leader in Me school. Leader in Me provides our school with the vision and language to lead the school in a way that addresses all areas of development. As each child discovers and develops his/her unique gifts and talents, they are given opportunities to lead. As leaders, they become active, engaged partners in their own education and their self-confidence, responsibility, and initiative grow.
- Throughout each day, learning experiences are offered through individual work, in small groups, and as a whole group.
- Our gym and expansive outdoor playground provide an abundance of active play space.
- We provide a motor lab with rotating activities to address the needs of all students in task-oriented circuit training, supported by consistent, foundational exercises, offering developmental support for the sensory and motor systems.
- We have a sensory room to provide students a sense of calm and comfort to help with self regulation through visual, auditory, and tactile experiences.
- Curricular activities are developed based on current research and recommended practice. Lessons follow state Early Learning Standards.
- To promote early literacy, we follow the Heggerty curriculum. Our teachers meaningfully incorporate literacy throughout classroom and daily routines.
