In addition to our standard classroom instruction, our focus for the four-year-old students is to prepare them mentally and physically for kindergarten. At this level we will continue to measure your child’s individual progression of development and learning with observations and teacher assessments. Small groups are formed according to your child’s progress after teacher assessments are completed. This is to help your child learn according to his/her intellectual level.
We highly encourage your children to accomplish life skills such as tying shoes, putting on and taking off coats/jackets, washing hands, and knowing their address and phone numbers. Recognizing and writing upper and lower case letters, recognizing shapes and colors, recognizing and writing numbers, and participating in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) projects are skills they will experience on a daily basis. Reading, the recognition of small words, and printing and recognizing the student’s names are also incorporated into our Kinder-Prep Class instruction time.
Have a big day,
filled with joy
KIDS HAVEN, by Sandy incorporates the newly expanded program “The Creative Curriculum” to help our teachers plan and implement a rich, developmentally appropriate program that uses best practices and reflects how young children develop individually and learn inside and outside of their classrooms.
The Creative Curriculum is a forward thinking, comprehensive research-based and research proven curriculum that gives our staff foundational resources to build a high quality program. It is of utmost importance to understand not only how children develop and learn, but also to understand their individual differences.
Children thrive when they are treated with genuine kindness, love, and respect, and when they have teachers who individualize their care and teaching. We want your children to be successful in school and ready for life!
