OMOS
Preschool
Located on Tucson’s eastside in a newly renovated facility,
Our Mother of Sorrows Preschool provides children with an academic, social,
and spiritual education in a Catholic community setting.
Our Mother of Sorrows Preschool offers an early childhood
developmental program for children three and a half to five years old. Full
day care is available from 7:00 am to 6:00 p.m., with a structured school
day from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Part-time programs are also available.
About the program
The OMOS Preschool follows the curriculum guidelines as developed by the
Diocese of Tucson. The preschool curriculum is much more than play time or
babysitting. The school's curriculum is age appropriate, designed
specifically to build capacities in the following areas:
· Physical
development
· Social
and emotional development
· Intellectual
growth
· Spiritual
awareness.
The history of the OMOS Preschool learning philosophy
has been to allow children to develop learning skills at their various
developmental levels. This includes the acquisition and development of fine
motor and gross motor skills, as well as cognitive skills for preparation
for our Kindergarten program.
The cognitive piece is articulated through academic tasks such as letter and
number recognition. This OMOS learning philosophy is the cornerstone of
our preschool.
Daily/Weekly Activities
Educational materials are designed to provide a wide variety of learning
experiences geared to the developmental needs of children. These experiences
are meant to fascinate the child.
Religion
begins each school day with prayer and discussion.
Learning about Language
is so important for the young child and activities such as story telling ,
rhymes, words and their opposites encourage an understanding of language and
the alphabet. Both gross and fine motor skills are developed with activities
such as jumping, throwing, catching, and balancing.
Pre-academic skills
include math and science activities and developing numerical and letter
recognition.
Creative arts
include music, creative movement and art experiences with painting,
stamping, and drawing.
All of the planned activities and experiences promote the development
of each child while recognizing not all children learn at the same pace.
