The four-year-old child is ready for the exploration of concepts in the areas of reading and math readiness, science and social studies, as well as the continued growth of language and physical development skills.
Utilizing our Junior Kindergarten program, the child is presented with a thematic, hands-on approach to learning new skills and developing new awareness and abilities.
Other areas of content include, recognizing lower and uppercase letters and letter sounds, orientation to a book, identifying rhyming words, and writing their name, following directions, fine motor skills (holding pencils and scissors), color recognition, counting, 1 to 1 correspondence, and number recognition 1 - 20. We also encourage your child to do the following: use the restrooms independently, put on their jacket and clothes independently, sit in a group, during circle time for a reasonable amount of time, attend to a story or activity, carry on a conversation, and adhere to simple class rules.
Additionally, your child's curiosity, independence and self-confidence are fostered through the use of center play activities. As for our curriculum - our trained staff prepare lesson plans through thematic units. Our units are carefully organized to correlate directly to the Virginia Standards of Learning. We enhance your child's understanding and enjoyment of the presented units through manipulative toys, art experiences and field trips. |
