Preschool Program | Cyn's Play Place Academy

Preschool & PreK Program
Lenora Church Rd. Snellville, GA

IN-CLASS & VIRTUAL PRESCHOOL AVAILABLE TO CHILDREN BEGINNING 2 YEARS OLD.

At Cyn’s Play Place, we understand your eager preschooler is ready to go all the time. Rest assured, our program is well-equipped for this energy and constant thirst for knowledge through our Preschool. Our Preschool Program provides your child with the environment, nutrition, safety, and tools they need to keep their active minds growing and learning. Our preschoolers are on an accelerated track to acquire literacy and cognitive skills through our standards-driven, play-based Curriculum. They are immersed in an abundance of hands-on, multi-sensory activities designed to advance learning. Preschoolers thrive in orderly, well-organized classrooms with schedules that allow for a balance of active and quiet activities. We combine Montessori & Reggio learning styles to better meet our students where they are while allowing them to develop into their personalities.

We want to ensure that every child receives an accelerated foundation for our elementary school (Cyn’s Academy), and higher learning. We are more than your average “childcare provider”.

WHAT WE PROVIDE OUR PRESCHOOLERS

• Developmentally-appropriate practices — Each guided activity, station and procedure is tailored to fit a growing, eager preschooler. We prepare children for elementary school and beyond by building the foundation they need to thrive. Each day, the classroom participates in activities that are customized to each child’s abilities and growth

• Hands-on involvement — By using teacher-directed and self-directed activities, children are encouraged to learn through engaging, hands-on approaches that allow each child to explore their surroundings

• Decision-making and problem-solving skills — Starting at this age, children learn not only to react to their surroundings, but to anticipate, decide, and solve the problems in front of them. Our program offers them a safe, nurturing environment for them to begin building these important skills

• Character development — Emotional, behavioral, and social skills are developed through our program to help your child grow into a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted citizen

• Vocabulary — Preschoolers in our program will learn to build and grow their vocabulary in preparation for Kindergarten and beyond

• Social-emotional activitie — As they are growing, preschoolers are learning how to display their emotions and interact with their peers and teachers. Our program is developed to further guide your child’s social-emotional growth through positive interactions with those around them

• Literacy skills — Learning to read is an exciting time in a child’s life! Your preschooler will start putting their alphabet skills to work as we learn to read together in group and individual times

• Small group instruction — Using small group time to explore new concepts and activities increases your preschooler’s chances to explore with positive guidance while learning to cooperate and work together with their peers
