Preschool and Kindergarten Program of Study
Language Arts
Emerging literacy skills are fostered through language games, stories, poetry, songs, rhymes, riddles and phonics. Later, the class is introduced to the alphabet, letter sounds and recognition. Children are encouraged to recognize and write their names.
Early Science
The science skills they learn allow them to make sense of the world around them and how they fit into their environment. Tactile, sensory experiences allow children to make numerous connections. Finger painting, water play and sand play are all opportunities to make predictions and observations about the changes they can bring about.
Early Mathematics
Math concepts, such as counting, patterns, sizes, colors and shapes are learned through hands on games and calculating exercises. The class is introduced to written numbers and one-to-one correspondence. In kindergarten the students are introduced to counting and more complex tasks such as counting to 100, counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s, recognizing and writing numbers.
Arts & Crafts
We endeavor to encourage “artful minds”. We make learning fun with themed activities and lesson plans that include painting, coloring, creating animals and objects from paper and other media; and we also encourage collaboration between students to reinforce good social skills. .
Music
We provide a rich sensory environment with song and music. Research has shown that kids who are actively involved in music do better in reading and math when they start school, are better able to focus and control their bodies, and play better with others and have higher self-esteem.
