Classes
STARS
For children who are 3 years of age by December 31st of the school year
9:00-11:30am Tuesday/Thursday
Stars face the challenge of learning a school-based routine. These children learn to transition from one activity to another, to participate in Circle and group activities, to follow the teacher's directions, to use words to solve problems, and to take turns for toys or activities. The teacher focuses strongly on developing Stars' social skills.
NEW MORNING PRE-K PROGRAM FOR THE 2011-12 SCHOOL YEAR!
12 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION PER WEEK!
ROCKETS/Pre-K
For children who are 4 years of age by September 1st of the school year
9:00-1:00pm Monday/Wednesday/Friday
In the Rockets/Pre-K class, we are more academically focused then in our Stars class. The day starts off with "table time" in which the children start their day with an academic activity such as art, math, literacy or journaling. The classroom is then opened up for free-choice playtime. The children are free to play with their peers. After free play, there is an academically-themed circle time: Monday Math, Wacky Wednesdays and Alphabet Friday. Our day also includes snack time, outdoor playtime, lunch time and an ending circle time. Throughout the year, your child will gain a solid knowledge of the letters of the alphabet and their phonetic sounds. We will focus on rhyming and also sounding out and spelling simple three- or four-letter words. Many of our children are reading by the end of the year. The children also do simple math equations (addition and subtraction) as well as patterning. This program is based on each child's needs and progresses with the child's development level.
