Our kindergarten program follows the Ministry of Education
curriculum to ensure your child receives best classroom
study possible. Our small group ratio of 10:1, allows
the teacher to spend individual time with each child.
Statistics have shown children who have experienced
this opportunity have become more confident learner
entering grade school. Progress reports are available
for each child. Parent- teacher meetings are scheduled
to review their accomplishments and success. Our kindergarten
program provides a fertile field for students to grow
in.
Junior
Kindergarten:
The four year-old is ready for the exploration of concepts in the areas of reading
and math, science and social studies, as well as the continued growth of language
and physical development skills. Utilizing the creative Junior Kindergarten Program,
the child is presented with a thematic, hands-on approach to learning new skills
and developing new awareness and abilities. Beginning phonics instruction is
initiated when the child is ready for this skill. The child's curiosity, independence
and self-confidence are fostered through the use of center play activities. Manipulative
toys, art, music experiences and field trips enhance the child's understanding
and enjoyment of
presented concepts.
Senior
Kindergarten:
The five year-old is ready for the development of reading, math and handwriting
skills that will prepare him/her for the more formal learning environment of
elementary school. The program we use presents science, social studies, musical
language, and physical development activities in a monthly thematic format. The
reading readiness program focuses on phonic skills. Listening comprehension will
be initiated for children who demonstrate readiness for this skill. A manipulative
approach is used to develop math concepts. Creativity, curiosity and confidence
are developed through Center play activities. Art experiences, manipulative materials,
dramatic play, books
and games enhance the child's conceptual development. Field trips and show-n-tell
presentations add to the child's enjoyment and understanding of monthly themes.
