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.

What Parents are Saying

Our greatest advocates are also our closest friends.

"Liz has created a warm and relaxed learning environment where Lucas has been able to develop his academic and social skills, but also been encouraged to explore subjects and themes that he is interested in. Lucas will definitely miss Miss Liz when he starts school next year!"

Our Curriculum Components

The building blocks to balanced education.

  • Language Works Connecting spoken words to written words, enjoying books independently, retelling stories, writing letters and numbers, indentifying some words on sight.
  • Math Counts Beginning to use standard measurements, beginning addition.
  • Science Rocks Exploring the world in more depth using tools such as magnifying glasses and microscopes, recording observations in science journals.
  • ArtSmart Studying great artists, engaging in collage and three-dimensional artwork, exploring dance, music, and dramatic arts
  • Our World Practicing empathy and compassion towards others, cultural exploration through children’s literature.
  • Well Aware Continuing focus on healthy activity and eating, taking responsibility for own health, beginning to study how our bodies are cared for.

Stamp Collecting

You Will Need:

Scissors, a book, pen and stamps

Directions:

When the mail arrives, have your child cut the stamps off the letters. Look at the stamps carefully and discuss the pictures on the stamps. Working together, glue them in a scrapbook. Let your child decide how to organize the book. Talk about how much each stamp cost, where it is from, if she already has one that is the same, etc. Your child might want to look up the places the stamps came from on internet.

Tip:

An exciting family hobby may emerge from this activity.
