Subjects
Language Arts
In Language Arts, we familiarize children to books, poetry, and new vocabulary words, such as author and illustrator. New poems are learned throughout the school year to coordinate with the current theme or holiday.
Social Awareness
In Social Awareness, children explore family and community both in our backyard and across the globe. The children learn about different jobs and their importance within their community. In Social Awareness children can also use their imagination and social skills to interact and create.
Science
In Science, children learn all areas of science through hands-on activities and experiments including exploration of the weather, seasons, five senses, and dinosaurs to name a few. This allows the children to conduct experiments and investigate first hand!
Math
In Math we explore the world of numbers including number recognition, classifying, sorting, patterns, and graphing through a variety of lessons, number games, and independent exploration. Math is introduced through different lesson and centers throughout the school year.
Readiness
Readiness is a preschool only subject where the children learn colors, comparisons, shapes, opposites, positional words and rhyming words. They also learn important information about themselves such as eye color, family, and personal information like their address.
Reading Readiness
Reading readiness introduces children to the alphabet with letter recognition, letter sounds, writing letters, and word definitions. Each letter is introduced one at a time throughout the course of the year to create a cumulative “letter book” to take home at years end.
Music and Movement
Through Music and Movement, children are introduced to the world of music through song, instruments, and movement. Here children engage in large motor skills and are taught basic skills such as skipping, hopping, bouncing, and throwing.
Art
Through Art, children engage in small motor skills and creativity with activities like play dough, finger paint, and beading. The children also explore different methods of painting and are introduced to using scissors safely and accurately.
