Kindergarten Wrap Around

Cognitive

Our daily curriculum has been created to coincide with that of Shenendehowa school district and our use of creative center-based education will encourage your child’s cognitive development in these 4 subjects.

- Mathematics

- Literacy/language

- Science

- Social Studies

Emotional/Social

At this age children start to form their own “self-help” strategies. We allow the children to be independent in their decision making while encouraging them to solve problems and make connections appropriately. As educators we encourage all children to express themselves through play, art, writing and more!

Physical

Getting up and getting moving is crucial in every child’s development. It is important to us that children get outside every day or spend some time in our large motor room allowing children to explore through active play! We also incorporate physical activities in our daily lesson plans and curriculum. An example of this would be themed learning activities like 'The Letter Y' by understanding the sounds the letter makes, practicing our handwriting, and ending the lesson with some Yoga!

Learning through play! 

Learning through play is a key factor in development at the kindergarten age. On a daily basis the children are able to learn new things through self-discovery, and are challenged in every aspect of development. Social, emotional, cognitive and physical development are focused on by simply playing with your peers. Some of our favorite ways to learn through play are setting up dramatic play centers! An example of this is creating an ice cream stand the children operate and shop at! The use of turn-taking with peers, mathematics and money, and even using appropriate social skills, are just a few ways we love to have fun and learn when we play!
