    Elementary School Preparation

    One of our main objectives with this group is to promote skills necessary to succeed in elementary school. An emphasis is placed on early literacy and mathematical reasoning. This is achieved by reading to children, as well as helping them learn to write and identify letters, write their name, and recognize words. At the same time, activities such as building with blocks, engaging in pretend play, and art are invaluable means for developing these skills. The emphasis is on children’s active involvement in their learning rather than stencil work and formal lessons. As children progress, the curricular activities become more and more challenging to ensure that children are always interested.

    Rising to the Challenge of Writing

    It is at this time that we start helping them learn to write and identify words. As the learning of this new skill progresses, the learning activities will become more challenging and more advanced so that by the end, the children’s writing skills will be more refined, and hopefully by the age of 5, perfected.
