The Kindergarten Readiness Classroom (for 4 & 5 year olds) is specifically designed for children who will be entering kindergarten the following fall. Teachers are aware of the milestones children are striving to master before entering elementary school and are able to customize their curriculum and Learning Experience Plans accordingly. Your child will learn necessary life skills for a successful transition to kindergarten … how to share, take turns, follow directions, take responsibility for actions and safely participate in fire drills. Your preschooler will develop confidence in a classroom setting, be comfortable introducing oneself to new friends, raise a hand to ask a question and enthusiastically contribute to group conversations.
The “LearnEarly” school readiness curriculum is applied in all preschool classrooms. Children are encouraged to express themselves through art projects and creative illustrations. Visual letter and number recognition, as well as phonemic awareness, will begin to develop. In a community of learners, children are encouraged to communicate and express ideas in many ways. This develops a desire to read, write and listen. Children shall experience and demonstrate the ability to happily exist in a group setting which is important in kindergarten environments.
