4-Year-Old Classes
4 Year Old AM Class: Mon, Wed, Fri 9:30 am - 12:30 pm (Children must turn 4 on or before Sept 1st. Exceptions may be approved by teacher and board)
OR
4 Year Old AM Class + Enrichiment: Mon, Wed, Fri 9:30am -2:00 pm For families looking for longer programming and additional time dedicated to lunch, STEAM activities, and social learning.
| Our 4-year-old curriculum focuses on further development of social and academic skills. Journaling and new language concepts are introduced. In addition to circle time, crafts and sensory activities, children participate in reading/writing readiness activities, science and math projects that prepare them for kindergarten.
Fridays for four-year-olds is based on an alphabet curriculum. The crafts, music, movement, snack and story are all selected to emphasize the special letter of the day. Though not intended to explicitly teach phonics, the children are immersed in language which results in phonemic awareness and reading readiness learned in the best way -- through play! Our newly added enrichment option will provide students with more kindergarten readiness skills. Being able to eat lunch in a set amount of time with peers, thinking critically for science and the "why" behind how things work, and additional child led play with social engagement opportunities will be included. |

Parents are not required to stay with their child in this program, but are more than welcome to do so if they wish.
