Future Stars Lomita Preschool & Infant Care
Incorporating two decades of teaching experience, we’ve developed a unique program tailored to inspire, challenge, and support a love of learning in every child. We balance indoor and outdoor time, learning and play, and encourage the children to explore, problem-solve, work as a team, and have fun doing it.
Infant Childcare (2 months to 12 months of age)
We provide a nurturing environment that cares for the infants’ basic daily needs, including diapering, feeding, and napping. The class also focuses on promoting the babies’ cognitive, physical, and social development. Day-to-day activities expose the children to sign-language, colors & shapes, sensory & art projects, fine & gross motor development, reading, tummy-time, music & movement, birthday celebrations, and multicultural events.
Toddler Childcare (12 months to 24 months of age)
Our goal in the Toddler Room is to develop the children’s minds & bodies and foster their self-help, language, and socialization skills. The toddlers follow a daily routine that includes playtime, circle-time, reading, art, lunch, nap time, and music & movement. On the academic front, the kids are learning letters, numbers, colors, shapes, Spanish, Sign-language, and sensory activities, and enjoy birthday celebrations, holidays, and multicultural activities.
Younger Two's Class (Two to Three years of age)
Our goal in the Younger Two’s Class is to develop the children’s minds & bodies, and social-emotional skills as we get them ready to become preschoolers. Our new Two year-olds follow a daily routine that includes playtime, circle-time, reading, art, lunch, nap-time, and music & movement. A large emphasis throughout the day is placed on fostering the children’s self-help skills and independence, including potty-training, feeding oneself, following directions, drinking from a cup, sharing, cleaning-up, and using their words to fulfill their needs. On the academic front, the kids are learning letters, numbers, colors, shapes, Spanish, and Sign-language, and enjoy healthy cooking projects, sensory activities, birthday celebrations, holidays, and multicultural activities.
Older Two’s Class (Mid-Two to Three years of age)
In the Older Two's class, we continue developing the children’s self-help and socialization skills (sharing, using their words, following directions) while introducing more academics to the curriculum. The children begin recognizing, writing, and pronouncing each letter of the alphabet using the Zoophonics© program. They also learn to recognize, write, and count the numbers 1 through 10. In addition to their ABCs, we involve them in daily reading, art, music & movement, Spanish, and playtime. Throughout the month, the children engage in STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Math) projects, creative arts projects, and also dive into a monthly theme, such as dinosaurs, outer space, or the human body. Additionally, birthday parties, holidays, and multicultural activities are celebrated throughout each month.
Three's Class (Three to Four years of age)
This class promotes skills needed to succeed & thrive in PreKindergarten and beyond, including listening, expanding ones’ attention span, cooperating with friends, being a helper, and mastering small motor skills such as cutting with scissors and holding a pencil correctly. Academically, the children work on writing and identifying their first and last name, writing and pronouncing all uppercase letters, writing and identifying the numbers 1 through 20, and counting till 30. Throughout the month, the children engage in STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Math), arts and crafts, healthy eating projects, and also dive into a monthly theme (ex. dinosaurs) that they study in detail. Additionally, birthday parties, holidays, and multicultural activities are celebrated throughout each month.
Pre-Kindergarten Class (Four to Five years of age)
Our PreKindergarten class emphasizes academic, social, and emotional growth, to ensure that graduating students meet or exceed both public and private school admission requirements for Kindergarten, and have a sense of confidence when they begin their academic adventure outside of Future Stars Academy. The class also promotes independence, team-work, problem-solving skills, improved attention span, and following multiple directions. Academically, the children learn to identify, sound-out, and write the entire alphabet (lower & uppercase); identify, write, and count from 1 to 100; learn simple addition and subtraction; practice sequencing & patterns; and recognize beginning, middle, and ending sounds in small words. Throughout the month, the children work extensively on STEAM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math) projects. Birthday parties, holidays, and multicultural activities are celebrated throughout each month.1.
