Kindergarten Readiness: The preschool in Frisco focuses on the basics of Kindergarten readiness for 4 and 5 year olds; letters, shapes, colors, numbers, counting, calendar, weather, writing, history, geography, holidays, socialization, class behavior and circle time, etc. Child guided themes are woven into the fabric of each area of the school, and activities are coordinated between all teachers. For example, if a theme of transportation is chosen, then cars, planes and trains will be discovered in each area of study. The music component will be songs about cars, planes and trains; dancers will dance to “Chattanooga Choo, Choo”, “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane”, and “Life is a Highway”; art projects will revolve around crafts, drawing and painting modes of transportation; and theatre students read books and act out fairy tales involving the theme.
A Typical Day: Children in Pre-K love the familiar activities of "morning circle", and we start with this each day in Preschool Class. Weather, calendar, seasonal events and more are typical conversations that students have during this vital learning and sharing time. Weekly routines are structured around letters, numbers, writing and Kindergarten Readiness that are carried through the entire school environment. Children at this private school are busy! During the half-day program, students rotate through four classrooms that focus on music, dance, theatre and preschool with art. Each class time is concentrated on skill building with age appropriate activities, and the teachers make it fun. The faculty is highly trained in their area of artistic discipline, and have a genuine love for this age group. The Musical Arts Schoolhouse is a licensed child-care center and is located at the Frisco School of Music, a premier private music school in the area, at Preston and Main Street in Frisco. |
Kerry Douglas: Lead Preschool Teacher
My name is Kerry Douglas. My husband, JR and I were married in March of this year. I was born in New York, but grew up in San Antonio. I attended College in Kerrville at Schreiner University and received a degree in general studies with a History specialization.
I have been teaching for seven years. I worked in Austin for for years and during that time I was a preschool teacher for 3 & 4 year olds. I also spent three years teaching both the 3 year olds and Pre-K classes that integrates special needs with typically developing students.
I moved to Dallas three years ago to be closer to my now husband. While living in Dallas, I worked with a special needs school for moderate to severe behaviors for three years.
My hobbies include spending time with my family and friends, traveling as much as possible, cooking and trying new recipes, working out and going to the beach. Recently, I took up deep-sea fishing.
Working with kids and helping them to learn and develop is a passion of mine.
My class is set up as a creative and positive learning and working environment for both the students and staff. Your child will be working on a variety of skills that will help prepare them for kindergarten.
