Homework and Assessment:

Each child at Teachable Moments Child Development Center is regularly assessed throughout the school year. Their progress is discussed with parents at bi-annual conferences, where the teacher will share social/emotional, developmental, and academic progress observations. We can assure you, however, that your child will never feel as though he or she is being tested at any time.

Parents or children can request extra materials for home if they desire, but it will never be required. There is, however, a monthly creative project, which children and parents can complete together at home. The child will then return the project to school to share with the class and for display in the classroom. In addition, teachers may also suggest interactive word games or reinforcement activities to play as a family. All activities, however, are suggestions and not required.
Note: The preschool program welcomes students who are four years old by September 1 of the current year. Students under the age of four who show advanced academic and social/emotional skills and for whom teachers agree that the preschool environment will be developmentally appropriate may be considered for early entry. A child should have attended Teachable Moments Child Development Center for a minimum of one full year prior to consideration to allow for an ample observation and assessment period.
