The Butterflies - Pre-Kindergarten
Kindergarten is German for “children’s garden’-it is a delightful term. It brings to mind the image of young seedlings on the verge of blossoming. As a young flower opens from a bud, so too does a child go through a natural unfolding process. As Kindergarten approaches the teachers will provoke learning in a fun and exciting ways. Children learn to love school and build the foundation they need for a successful school career.
Play is children’s work. Teachers build on their interest and provoke the learning process. Each day begins with a group time, we call circle time and continues with work time. Work time is defined into these categories: social studies, science, math/cognition, self help skills, fine/gross development, language building/story time, social-emotional development, creative arts, music and rhythm, and reading/ readiness. Here at The Learning Garden teachers realize “school readiness” is more than just knowing their “A“,“B“,“C’s”!
Pack their backpack and come along...together we will watch them bloom into beautiful butterflies as we give them wings for the future. As they leave for school they carry a love for learning that will carry them to their next step, Elementary School!
