Description
While your child continues to discover a stronger sense of self, the Pre-K2 class purposely supports their increasing independence as they continue to build a strong foundation for the years to come. Children are encouraged to accept measured risk and become more self-sufficient as they begin to: engage in back-and-forth communicative interactions with adults and peers and begin to connect language with ideas, understanding of number sense including: one to one correspondence, counting, more/less, solve problems trying out many different solutions, support hand muscle development through a variety of materials such as manipulating clay by pounding, poking, tearing, squeezing, and rolling, thus strengthening future development of pencil grips and controlled movement, and engage in associative play and recognize peers by name. We offer part-time and full-time options in our Pre-K2 program. Early Care is offered for Preschool students (Nidos to Pre-K4) to start their day at 8:00 am. Children have an opportunity to arrive 45 minutes earlier and engage in free play in their classroom under the supervision of their teachers.

They will make logical predictions based on pictures and begin to make real world connections between stories and real-life experiences. They will learn to develop hypotheses, theories based on observations, questions, and investigations. They'll begin to represent their ideas/thoughts through a variety of ways, explore number sense, representation, spatial sense, and non standard measurement estimation, and give meaning to their creations. They'll also interact with others through talking, sharing of materials and taking turns as they continue with associative and independent play. Our Pre-K3 program is offered from 8:45 am - 2:45 pm.

Our vibrant Pre-K4 class exposes children to a variety of materials and experiences to encourage an exchange of ideas and create a rich learning environment.

As your child prepares for the elementary grades they will experience learning opportunities at a greater depth and breadth by enjoying and participating in stories and understand that print carries meaning. They will attempt to read and write and express age-appropriate phonological awareness in distinguishing individual words within spoken phrases or sentences. They will recognize shapes in isolation and the real world; sorts by color, shape, size and purpose. They will understand the relationship between numbers and quantities to experience and explore combining (add) and removing (subtract) with concrete materials. They'll be able to describe relationships between objects and locations with words and gestures by constructing models to demonstrate an understanding of proximity (besides, next to, between, below, over and under). They'll develop special friendships and be able to engage in prosocial behavior as well as engage in associative play and begins to play cooperatively.

Description
Your kindergartener is gaining the skills that will support them for years to come – and it's our goal to help build and connect these skills to daily life. In our safe and nurturing environment, your child will make meaningful learning strides in the following areas. Language Arts – Students find critical connections with oral and written language as they foster a love and respect for literacy. Reading – Kindergarteners develop and strengthen their knowledge of letters, begin to read words, and explore children’s literature independently and in group. Writing – Children document their experiences in journals, create their own dictionaries, use technology to communicate and research, and start to write using their own emergent spelling. Math – Children learn number sense, patterns, and measurements through math experiences that incorporate their senses and require them to experiment, make observations, and investigate. Science – Students begin to learn the process of scientific inquiry, explore how the natural world works, and record their observations and theories. Social Studies – Kindergarteners expand their views as they learn more about global issues, community roles and responsibilities, the environment, and different points of view.
