Kinder Prep 4's (Age 4-5)

Circle time in Kinder Prep

Our social-recreational program integrates fundamental concepts through solid and engaging pre-K activities so children are not just prepared, they are excited, confident, and eager to start Kindergarten. 

 

Curriculum

Our curriculum includes phonics (using the Zoo-phonics Multisensory Language Arts Program) and phonemic awareness (sound blending, vowel recognition, and sight words), reading readiness, letter and numeral formation, writing practice, vocabulary development, Spanish, and an introduction to basic mathematical and scientific concepts. And of equal importance, it is our aim to enhance each students listening skills, encourage independence, and nurture their ability to play well with others.

Activities include music and movement, games, arts and crafts, cooking, field trips, as well as directed and self-directed play.
