School Class Offerings:
Preschool - Pre-kindergarten - Jr. Kindergarten
We embrace a traditional learning model of education that includes social interaction and play. We focus our teaching on the five main early childhood developmental areas: cognitive, social/emotional, fine motor, gross motor, and speech/language. Each student is challenged individually and allowed to grow and learn at their own pace. We love and nurture each student for the unique gifts and abilities that they bring to our school family.
Assessments are done throughout the year with follow-up conferences with parents.

Preschool provides a gentle introduction to school. At this level we introduce colors, shapes, numbers, and name recognition. We provide opportunities for exploration and wonder, through creative play, books, nursery rhymes/songs, free play, and outside exploration. Fine motor skills taught include holding and using a writing utensil and scissors correctly. Children also practice group social skills. Our main goal for preschool is to have the students love school and learning and to provide a comfortable and caring first exposure to an “away-from-home” learning environment.
The additional Friday third-day option is offered to our preschool students attending MW OR TTH classes. Our extra day is created to extend the week for the preschoolers that are ready for a three-day week. This stand-alone class will allow the students and teachers to explore a more elaborate project, extended artwork, or other enrichment pursuits. If your child is ready for a longer week, we have your 3- & 4-year-old student covered!
In Pre-Kindergarten/Jr. Kindergarten, we begin to work more on school readiness skills. We offer activities that appeal to the child’s developmental level and scaffold previous knowledge to build new skills.
Math skills to be covered include grouping, sorting, patterning, enumeration, shapes, money, time, and measurement. Reading activities involve learning the letter names and their sounds, writing on a daily basis, and having exposure to a wide range of literature. Science concepts introduced will include areas of classification, comparing data, and making predictions. Social studies curriculum will include concepts about family, neighborhoods, and community environments. We also try to give value to all cultures and people.

This kindergarten preparatory class focuses on more advanced academic skills (see list of academic skills in the Pre-Kinder description). This class is for students ready for more advanced learning goals and/or those who miss the cut-off for kindergarten or for those who may need one more year to grow and mature to be ready for a successful year in kindergarten.
For learning/developmental skills, the Jr. Kinder class will be extending their skills in math, and language subjects the most. These more advanced learning outcomes will prepare your child for a more academically advanced curriculum the following year in kindergarten.
A large part of Jr. Kinder is socialization and how to work as part of a group/classroom community. Finally, your child will develop emotionally by practicing self–confidence, decision making, emotional control and independence.
