As a PHL PreK site, we offer free preschool programming for 3 and 4 year old’s that aligns with the Jubilee philosophy.
Jubilee’s PreK Program
Through our curriculum, Jubilee School Pre-K creates a learning environment that supports the natural curiosity, creativity and imagination of our students. Through the use of raw materials, free play and exploration, the arts and developmentally appropriate teacher guided discussions, we endeavor to assist children in discovering how the power of their voices and ideas are essential to becoming integral members of their home, school, local, and global communities. In addition, our curriculum serves to equip children with the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual skills that are necessary in the development of well-rounded learners.
We believe that young children best learn by guided exploration through play with some direct instruction. Therefore, our schedule reflects a balance of exploratory learning, small groupwork, and some large group sessions. Teachers also ask for the children’s input in the selection of themes and activities and build off of their interests in planning and classroom activities. Goals for individual children are defined throughout the year. The teachers begin by observing and assessing each child’s development and then include targets and activities for the individuals in their lesson plans.
