We offer a play enriched environment while at the same time integrating developmentally appropriate readiness skills incorporated within the child’s play.
THREE YEAR
Our three year old class is composed of 12 children and 2 teachers. This classroom is very exciting. Language has been mastered, fine motor skills are being sharpened, gross motor skills are constantly used, and memorization pre‑emergent reading and writing all come together. The children are gently encouraged to rise to the next level of development by working together in learning and play centers as well as with individual attention from the teachers. We are beginning the building of readiness skills needed for objectives that will be introduced in the Pre-K classes.
PRE-K
Each Pre-K class is composed of 15 children and 2 teachers. These classes are preparing your child for Kindergarten. We offer a literacy-rich environment building pre-reading skills through daily activities in phonemic awareness and print concepts. Additionally, important early math concepts are taught through a variety of hands-on activities. Each classroom is a sensory-enriched environment giving the children many opportunities for discovery through cause and effect.
