Younger Preschoolers - 2.9 years old and up
This program focuses on all areas of development. Social development and school adjustments are very important at this age. Learning to make new friends, learning how to express feelings in an appropriate manner and having lots of fun while learning is the agenda for this program. Introduction to colors, numbers, letters, shapes, nursery rhymes, math, science, etc. will be a part of the curriculum during the school year. Multicultural education is also an important part of the curriculum. It teaches children that we are all different and it is OK to be different. Children need to understand that we can live in different homes, speak different languages, eat different foods, wear different clothes, but in the end we are all people. Diversity is a wonderful thing. We are shaping their attitudes for the future and multicultural education would include teaching all this.
Pre- Kindergarten- 4 years old and up
This program focuses on getting ready for kindergarten. We will work with the children using a creative curriculum. They will participate in age appropriate activities that will help them grow in all areas of development. Social development is important and we will also focus on that to prepare the children for their new adventures in kindergarten. Learning colors, numbers, letters, shapes, math, science, nursery rhymes, etc. will be part of the curriculum during the school year. Multicultural education is also an important part of the curriculum. It teaches children that we are all different and it is OK to be different. Children need to understand that we can live in different homes, speak different languages, eat different foods, wear different clothes, but in the end we are all people. Diversity is a wonderful thing. We are shaping their attitudes for the future and multicultural education would include teaching all of this.
