4-Year-Old Program
Our Four-Year-Old program creates a love of learning that prepares our students for their transition into Kindergarten. Our teachers guide each child in the development of physical, social and cognitive skills by utilizing both individual and group activities to help instill a wonder of the world around them. We use a great deal of science to inform our choices for curriculum. Literature, phonemic awareness and math move seamlessly into lessons about plants, animals, and various ecosystems.
Each day there is a class meeting where we introduce different topics that the class will explore throughout the day. Our teachers use observation to identify topics that spark the interest of the children. Using this information, the staff creates a fresh curriculum that ensures all academic topics are covered in a fascinating way that engages our students. It is obvious that each of our teachers loves to learn and brings that discovery to their class each day.
As in all of our age levels, staff constantly refers to the Ohio Pre kindergarten Content Learning Standards, Early Childhood research, and information from our area Kindergarten programs to assure that First School Students are prepared to excel when transitioning into either our Kindergarten program or their next school. |
