Our Kindergarten Program

Comprehensive curriculum preparing children for school success

Our center develops expectations and practices in concert with our state curriculum standards so children make an easy transition into the local school system. At the same time, our curriculum builds off the child’s knowledge base and skills, learning style, and interests. There is a clear emphasis on the development of strong language, math, and science skills. Important “school skills” of listening carefully, following through on a sequence of tasks, and working cooperatively are reinforced.

You Will Need:

Empty oatmeal boxes or cans of different sizes

Directions:

Tap a rhythm on the box with your hands. Give a box to your child and he will probably copy you. See if your child can repeat a simple beat.

Tip:

Notice and comment on the difference in sound between sizes of boxes and/or cans. Make loud and soft sounds. “How did you make that so loud? Did you hit it hard or soft?”
