Words & Letters
Children build vocabulary by discussing stories being read and begin to understand simple directions. Teachers provide children with opportunities to integrate listening, speaking, early reading, and writing into daily activities such as recognizing letters, answering open-ended questions such as "What do you think?", playing language and rhyming games.
Brain Building
We encourage investigation and problem solving to make important discoveries and learn how things work; provide opportunities to practice sorting, matching and categorizing; use blocks and math cards to teach counting and number identification.
StartArt
We develop important skills like creative thinking, problem-solving and innovation by engaging kids in creative experiences, such as working on long-term art projects (paper-mâché sculptures), dictating stories to accompany drawings, singing songs and reading books from around the world, making instruments and creating dramatic play areas such as a grocery store, or office.
My World
Teachers create diverse learning environments helping children to understand the world they inhabit. We develop their sense of responsibility and compassion for people, through different activities such as sharing cultural and family traditions with the class, experiencing the comforting words and gestures of teachers and peers, exploring photos of children and adults who are similar or different from us, caring for classroom plants.
Wellness
At this stage we expose young children to experiences that foster their ability to make good health decisions, develop a positive self-image, make healthy nutrition choices, and show respect for their bodies. Teachers provide children with varied opportunities such as identifying nutritious foods and how they help our bodies grow; taking responsibility for his/her own basic hygiene such as proper hand washing and covering his/her coughs; engaging in indoor and outdoor physical activities - hopping, climbing.
