Older Four and Five Year Old Program

Swans

     The Swan class was developed for those children who have may have been through the four year old program, but are not quite old enough for kindergarten. One focus in this class is on “skill building,” and we expand on those skills learned in the four year old program. To achieve this, we use the High Reach curriculum. This curriculum covers many skills and concepts such as:

Letter Recognition

Initial Consonant Sounds

Blending Phonemes

Reading Comprehension

Creative Writing

Number Concepts 0-20

Addition & Subtraction

Ordinal Position & Patterning

Measurement

Time & Money

Prediction

Analysis & Experiment

Cultural Awareness

     With a mix of structured learning time and playtime in an environment that is hands-on, fun, exciting and enriching, your child will leave the Swan class with confidence and a head start on kindergarten.
