ACADEMICS: As part of our daily routine, your child will engage in hands-on learning activities to promote early numeracy, early literacy, critical thinking, and active engagement. Preschool-aged children will have the most exposure to the curriculum (including direct instruction and reinforcement activities) and our youngest scholars may also participate when they show interest and are developmentally ready.
In addition to traditional academics, the children engage in many sensory activities, as well as art, music, movement, and exploration. Our goal is to prepare your child for the academic and behavioral expectations of a traditional school setting, in order to ease the transition to Kindergarten when the time comes. Following, are a few areas we highlight related to early reading and early math skills.
Early Literacy
- letter identification
- letter sounds
- phonics
- phonemic awareness
- writing letters
- concepts of print
Early Numeracy
- number awareness
- number identification
- counting
- 1:1 correspondence
- identifying patterns
- rank order
- grouping and sorting
- writing numbers
INDIVIDUAL GOAL SETTING: With support and guidance from parents, we set age-appropriate goals for children and closely monitor their individual progress toward reaching those goals. These can be in any area of need, including general development, communica-tion, school readiness, socialization, behavior, toilet training, or any other specific need at parent request.
