2-Year Old Preschool Class
Our 2-year old classroom is often a child’s first time to experience a school setting where a regular schedule and routine is followed. Children are engaged through music and movement, age-appropriate toys and manipulatives and exposed to many hands on learning experiences. Development of social skills is also an important aspect at this age. Learning to share, take turns and have empathy and respect for others is modeled and taught.
3-Year Old Preschool Class
Our 3-year old classroom offers more activities in a group setting. They enjoy a more in–depth circle time including calendar, weather, shapes and the weekly theme through discussion and songs. Children use a variety of materials to promote fine motor skills as they learn to write, cut, color in the lines and trace. Our 3-year old students also enjoy interactive play during center time. Positive social skills are encouraged through interacting with their classmates.
4-Year Old Preschool Class
Our 4-year old classroom encourages children to be more independent and responsible. Skills vary at this age, therefore our teachers strive to meet these needs through small group activities. Areas of focus are concepts of print and fine motor skills, such as writing, cutting projects and gluing. As students are ready, sight words are introduced. Students are also engaged in a group setting for circle time, music and chapel. Each day student’s enjoy free choice centers in which they learn to demonstrate positive social skills. This class is designed to provide children with all the necessary skills needed for kindergarten.
Kindergarten Readiness Class
Our Kinder Readiness class is designed for students who are unable to enter Kindergarten because their birthday is after September 1 st but before December 31st or for students whose birthdays fall in the summer and their parents are choosing to wait one more year until they send them to Kindergarten.
Students will be in a literacy-rich environment where the focus is on vocabulary development, phonetic and decoding skills, comprehension, making predictions and sequencing. This class further develops fine motor skills though challenging scissor activities and penmanship practice. Students perfect their printing of both upper and lower-case letters. The kindergarten sight words will be introduced throughout the yearin various forms. Math concepts include developing student’s critical thinking and problem solving skills. Our Kinder Readiness class is designed to provide a challenge to students who may not be ready for kindergarten but who have already mastered the goals and skills taught in our 4 year old class
