Bar-t Early Childhood Pre K @ Lakewood Elementary

Bar-T Early Childhood programs (children, ages 3 & 4), are designed to provide a high quality, creative, hands-on, child-centered learning environment for children. Students must be 4 years old by September 1st and be fully toilet trained, or 3 years old by September 1st and fully toilet trained at our Lakewood Elementary and Poolesville programs. We are now enrolling for the 2017-2018 school year.

The Bar-T staff are committed and experienced professionals who provide children with a caring and stimulating atmosphere. They listen carefully and respond quickly to the needs of each child. Our teachers are certified in Early Childhood Instruction. Each class has one assistant who is trained to aid children in their learning experiences. We are dedicated to positively contributing to a child's life.

The rooms at our sites are safe, inviting, attractive and well equipped with a wide variety of multi-sensory materials. We provide opportunities for each child to have new and unique educational experiences, think and problem-solve, dream and imagine. We always strive to create a spontaneous classroom where children have opportunities for activity and choice. We believe a child will learn best as he or she interacts with others, using concrete objects, and sharing real experiences.

Our curriculum is based on the guidelines of the Creative Curriculum including the following developmental domains:

Personal and Social,
Language and Literacy,
Mathematical Thinking,
Scientific Thinking,
Social Studies,
The Arts,
Physical Development and Health.
