Our preschool uses the Handwriting Without Tears program to support children as they develop fine motor skills, early literacy, and confidence in writing. This hands-on, developmentally appropriate approach makes learning to write engaging and fun for young learners. The program uses songs, movement, wooden pieces, chalkboards, and sensory play to introduce children to letters, shapes, and numbers in a way that feels natural and playful.
During small group activities and individual practice, children learn proper pencil grip, posture, and letter formation at a pace that supports their unique development. The program emphasizes building pre-writing strength through play-based activities such as clay work, tracing, and drawing. Teachers guide children using positive encouragement and multi-sensory tools that make writing an active and joyful experience rather than a task.
By integrating Handwriting Without Tears into the daily routine, children develop the coordination and confidence needed for future literacy success. This program lays a strong foundation for reading and writing readiness, helping each child express themselves through their growing writing skills with creativity and pride.
