Purpose
Windy Acres for Preschoolers was founded in 1991 (and was formerly known as Trinity Preschool, which was founded in 1965). In serving the young children of South Monterey County, the program seeks to ensure that the child’s first learning experiences outside their home are successful ones. Designed as a joint venture between home and school, the preschool’s primary purpose is to provide an educational experience that fosters social, emotional, physical, and mental growth.
Program
Our goal is to provide your child with an enriched program that will meet all of his or her developmental needs and help create a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning. The program consists of a wide variety of learning experiences and activities.
Our learning environment is arranged both inside and outdoors and includes: science experiments, creative art, singing, dancing, story reading, organized game playing, pretend play, puzzles, math games, manipulative toys, sand and water play, self help art, writing and construction. We encourage and make time for discussions of feelings, ideas, problems and observations. It is also our goal to help the children independently develop thoughts and actions, a sense of responsibility to the group, and a sense of kindness and courtesy towards others.
Our staff is trained to appreciate the children’s natural curiosity and assist them in their discovery, explorations, and creative problem solving—which is essential to their development.
