| Our Classrooms All of our classes focus on developing the child as a whole including all aspects of child development (social, emotional, cognitive and gross motor skills) Voyagers This is our youngest class, which opened in June 2008. This class will focus on self–help skills and exploring the world around them through finger play, stories, songs and all of the wonderful material in our classroom. Music and songs are used as learning tools and are incorporated into their daily activities. Pioneers Our two year old class is full of fun and enthusiasm. This class has up to 16 children and 2 teachers. The class focuses on social interactions, self-help skills, and communication. The children in this class participate in singing, dancing, stories, art projects and a variety of activities to help develop motor skills. Investigators This is our three year old class and is made up of 16-18 children and 2 teachers. These children are always on the move! They are in the process of mastering their self-help skills and they are working hard on their fine motor skills. The classroom provides children with many opportunities to express themselves through art music, dramatic play and games. Explorers This is our 4 year old class. This class has 9 students with 1 teachers. The classroom focuses on developing independence, problem solving and social skills. The teachers and students in this classroom enjoy participation in songs, science and cooking experiments, group activities and games, learning Spanish and Sign Language and art projects. The focus is to allow children to be creative and experiment with materials while developing their cognitive skills. Adventurers This is our Pre-Kindergarten class and is best fitted for children who miss the kindergarten cut-off date. The children must attend 5 mornings or 5 full days. This is one of our smaller classes with 12 children, which allows for more individualized instruction and interactions to prepare them for Kindergarten. The children in this class work on fine tuning their motor skills through art projects, manipulatives and blocks. They also enjoy working in small groups on cooking projects and science experiments all of which develop their cognitive skills. |
