Welcome
to
A
Place Where Every Child Is Loved
An
empathetic classroom community is built through having shared discussions about
classroom ethics:
· How do we treat each other?
· How do we show we care about each other?
· How can we help each other?
Learning Through Play
· Play is a very important part of kindergarten.
· Children learn important skills through
play:
Social
skills, problem solving, cooperation and teamwork, and many others.
Hands-On Learning
· Children learn through hands-on
exploration.
· Learning is fun, exciting, and meaningful
to the child.
A Thematic Classroom
Children learn more about a chosen topic
through a variety of ways:
· Singing songs, reading books, writing
projects, investigating, sharing ideas, art projects, math activities and more!
An Individualized Learning Environment
· Instruction is focused on the needs of the
individual child.
· Instruction is taught through a variety of
methods (learning styles).
Learning Fundamentals
· Children need a solid foundation in basic
skills.
· Children learn letter recognition and
letter/sound relationships, which enable them to become readers and writers.
· Children learn basic mathematical skills
that enable them to become mathematicians.
· Children learn basic social skills through
discussion and practice.
