Activities

  • Circle Time: During circle time, we focus on fostering essential life skills, including active listening, observation, and effective communication. Through engaging activities like singing songs and practicing calendar skills, children learn while having fun.
  • Language Arts: We place a strong emphasis on phonemic and phonetic awareness, laying a solid foundation for language and literacy development. Children explore letters and the alphabet through diverse mediums, including reading, music, movement, art, and hands-on lessons.
  • Mathematics, Science, and STEM: Our curriculum encourages students to think critically, solve problems, recognize patterns, develop number sense, and engage in various STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities. Science lessons involve hands-on experiments, allowing children to make predictions, conduct experiments, observe, and review their findings.
  • Social Studies: Our Social Studies activities are thoughtfully designed to help children explore and understand themselves and the world around them, fostering a sense of curiosity and global awareness.
  • Handwriting: We pay special attention to fine motor development by introducing pre-writing exercises and progressively teaching alphabet letters in an order that aligns with their level of difficulty.
