Four-year and five-year olds are on the brink; the emphasis moves to preparing each child for kindergarten. Learning invokes more complicated relationships and concepts. Practical skills such as the proper use of scissors and the ability to tie one’s shoes expand the child’s self confidence.
For students to be ready to move on to kindergarten, we set our priorities to emphasize essential communication skills and problem-solving technique.
Each child learns to recognize color words, to Identify primary and secondary colors by name, and to Identify basic shapes by name. We teach our childern to place items and pictures in sequential order, to match and sequence similar objects and pictures. Each child learns to recognize the alphabet—both lower and upper case—and their corresponding sound, to recognize numbers zero through twelve, and to count from one to twenty.
