Buffalo Preschool Enrichment Programs

Below are some of the programs offered at our Buffalo preschool center:

Lil’ Movers

Lil’ Movers is our program that enhances your child’s large motor development. We will use aspects and activities promoted by CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health), as well as developmentally appropriate large motor skills, sportsmanship, and taking turns.

Combining these programs promotes physical activity and coordinated play for young children. Our program encourages and motivates children to walk, run, jump, dance, and move their whole body while playing and having fun!

Lil’ Farmers

Lil’ Farmers is our nutrition program that focuses on health, nutrition and community involvement. We incorporate aspects of the “Farm to Childcare” initiative by partnering with local farmers for fresh and local products.

We feature a new fruit or vegetable each month from a list of farmers’ seasonal crops. Our students will explore the food through taste, texture, and smell, while learning about where the food was grown in our community.

The Lil’ Farmers program will help children build lifelong healthy eating habits, so they can become real life farmers too!

Kindermusik

Kindermusik is a music and movement program that is cultivated for each stage of a child’s development. Lil’ Explorers offers three Kindermusik levels that are geared to accommodate toddler and preschool classroom developmental needs.

Kindermusik provides activities that stimulate children’s minds, bodies, and sense of play while incorporating early literacy and language into music. The music program integrates songs, instruments, stories, activities, and music from all around the world to nurture kids’ budding creativity!

Learning Spanish

Beginning in preschool, children are introduced to basic words in the Spanish language. Each month the Spanish program is based around a theme (i.e. numbers, colors, greetings, body parts, etc.). New words are introduced using fun picture cards, games, songs, and books.

We highly encourage everyone to attempt to pronounce the Spanish words although many children (especially under 3 years old) may not be able to pronounce the words easily or at all. However, exposure to a foreign language can have many cognitive and academic benefits.

A Loving and Supportive Environment For Little Ones

The Lil’ Explorers Childcare team is passionate about providing a warm and loving environment where Buffalo families feel confident that their child is safe and nurtured. Our experienced staff members are CPR, and First Aid certified, so you can rest assured that your little one is in good hands.

Additionally, our Buffalo daycare and Buffalo preschool programs are designed to encourage holistic development in young children. Our teachers work hard to create a supportive environment where every child feels valued and special.
