Designed for children ages 5-6 years old, this class is perfect for Summer and early Fall birthdays and children who may need just a bit more growth before heading to a large class in elementary school. This class prepares children for the academic world, whether planning to enter another Kindergarten or 1^st Grade* in the following year. While continuing to honor learning through play, this class helps children learn to tend to tasks longer and practice self-regulation skills through work in independent, small group, and whole group activities. The academic curriculum provides a solid foundation for literacy, math, social studies and science while the arts and French language are integrated into all aspects of the day. Lessons are guided by student curiosity and inquiry. Children are encouraged to be creative, try new things, and celebrate both successes and mistakes as equally important parts of the learning process. Children graduate from this class as confident, resilient, curious and creative lifelong learners. Children attend a weekly Music class and Chapel Time, as well as a twice a week French Immersion Art class. Children must be potty-trained to attend this class (please address any concerns to the Director).
