Preschool Curriculum - 4/5's Kindergarten Prep

4/5-Year-old Kindergarten Prep Goals

​Our Kindergarten Prep Class is a differentiated, student-centered environment that empowers each child to become a more independent learner. This high-level curriculum offers stimulating activities and experiences to ensure your preschooler or kindergartner's success in learning.
Our language arts curriculum will allow students to:
  • engage in activities that promote reading comprehension and fluency.
  • engage in multisensory activities that promote reading skills, such as phonological awareness, phonics, and vocabulary development
  • participate in shared reading and writing activities such as journaling
  • discuss reactions to literature and develop an understanding of story elements such as plot, setting, characters, and problem solving solutions
  • incorporate the foundations for learning the Spanish language
Our math curriculum will allow students to:
  • develop an understanding of addition, subtraction, time, money, and measurement.
  • engage in explorations that promote number sense, mathematical thinking, and mathematical terms.
  • use number lines, grids, and manipulatives to practice skip-counting
  • broaden their mathematical use through STEM projects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics)
In addition, children will have access to individualized apps via the iPad to enable their skills to progress to the next level.  They will participate in a weekly music class and visit the library to select stories and engage in storytelling.
