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.
