CURRICULUM

Ari Guiragos Minassian Armenian Preschool believes in nurturing a child’s emotional and social growth as a foundation for intellectual development. We emphasize the following four developmental domains: cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. The Preschool teachers are dedicated to providing our students with love and individual care while forming a strong partnership with parents.

At AGM Preschool, each child is...

Outdoor Classroom

 Children of preschool age need to have the opportunity to EXPLORE, utilize all their SENSES, and DISCOVER their natural curiosity in a relaxed environment. Our program encourages children to spend time in the outdoor classroom space every day as a means to optimize their learning.
In the outdoor classroom space, children are choosing to interact with one another through sand-play, water-play, blocks, bicycling, and much more. Students are also able to grow their own vegetables in our garden, observing the process along the way.

All our activities in the outdoor classroom are geared to establish the foundations of a joy for learning.

Language

Each classroom has 2 qualified educators who are fluent in Armenian and English. In our 2-3-year-old class, the teachers communicate with students in Armenian for approximately 90% of the school day. In our 4-year-old classroom, the teachers communicate with students in Armenian for approximately 70% of the school day. We believe in setting a strong foundation for bilingualism, as a proven method for future academic success. All of our students are equipped and prepared with the skills necessary to succeed in Kindergarten at the end of their preschool term.  

Students can and should feel comfortable expressing themselves in any language with the teacher, and among each other. Students who come to AGM with no background in the Armenian language, are still proven to work, play and learn successfully in our classrooms.

Music

Music and movement is incorporated into our preschool curriculum on a daily basis. We believe singing and dancing to be an effective and age-appropriate way to introduce important concepts and lessons!
