As our three-year-old students gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our well-rounded program fosters that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. Healthy doses of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active, too.

Our goal is to help children develop a sense of math around them, to notice and use numbers, and to use math concepts to explore their world.

They are encouraged to

• use numbers and counting to explore their world
• notice shapes, patterns, and colors
• use math to communicate things about their world (how long something is, how heavy it is, etc)

Expectation : Our students are expected to achieve the following as teachers work with them according to their individual learning pace.

• Counting 1 to 30
• Counting forward and backward by ones.
• Identifying the numbers that come before and after a given number.
• Identifying missing numbers by ones.
• Writing numbers 1 to 30.

Integrating S.T.E.A.M to our Public Speaking: Students assignments with specific criteria are presented in front of the class, hence building vocabulary development and self confidence for our youngest students.

S.T.E.A.M: Ask, Imagine, Plan , Create, and Improve 

S– Science: Investigate

T-Technology: Exploring Tools

E– Engineering: Plan, Make, Test and Invent

A – Arts: Open -Ended Creative Activities

M– Math: Patterns, Shapes and Numbers

Our youngest students are encouraged to express themselves through classic works of art. They observe closely, think critically and discuss respectfully.

Our program enable our students to be critical thinkers, ask open-ended questions, learn to analyze, compare, contrast and generate higher order thinking skills through play. They develop decision making skills and understand conflict resolution.

For safety reason all our field trips are done virtually.
