Each day provides time for the joy of creative expression with hands-on art using many different mediums.Gross and fine motor skills which lead to emergent writing are emphasized. This literacy-rich program builds alphabet recognition and phonemics awareness. It is designed to provide children with multiple opportunities for success as they make discoveries about their world.
These language-rich classes promote kindergarten readiness.Our four-to five-year-olds flourish with a hands-on curriculum set up to emphasize emergent literacy and writing, alphabet recognition and phonemic awareness. Each day provides time for the joy of creative expression using art activities which utilize many different media and jointly encourage the development of gross and fine motor muscles. The children will be introduced to a variety of emergent literacy, writing, alphabet recognition, and phonemic awareness activities.
This class is designed for the older preschooler who are developmentally ready to experience more direct instruction.This class also emphasizes emergent literacy, writing, alphabet recognition, and phonemic awareness, and beginner reading groups, through activities that involve the whole child. Basic match concepts and number recognition are taught with a hands-on approach. Children have many opportunities to experiment, predict, and problem solve. The open-ended approach, in addition to teacher direction at this age level, stimulates creativity in many ways, especially through art and science.
