Children develop best in an environment that allows them to interact with other children, make discoveries, solve problems and think independently. With our “hands on” approach through learning centers, children learn and explore in both large group and small group activities. Our focus is to reinforce and build upon previously learned concepts, as well as work on readiness skills needed for Kindergarten. Socialization and manners, science, math, language, fine and gross motor skills and seasonal themes are all integrated into the program which is centered on the alphabet. Each month your child will be introduced to several letters of the alphabet. During each week your child will be experiencing fun activities that will build their alphabet knowledge. These activities will build early literacy skills through fine literature. These literacy skills will include phonemic awareness, letter recognition, letter-sound relationships, listening comprehension and writing.
