Early Learner Program 

Our Early Childhood program is for children 3-6 years old.  Here, children’s independence, self-esteem and self-discipline are nurtured while they are introduced to the basics of academics. The combination of defined social structure and intellectual atmosphere is propelled by the unique ability of children this age to absorb their environment, language and culture. 

Children in the Early Childhood program learn through the use of many manipulative classroom materials, as well as through teacher guidance. The teachers work with a child individually and in small groups on enticing activities, and then allow each child many repetitions to master them. Activities include beginning skills in reading, writing, language expression through drawing and writing, mathematics, geography, nature studies, science, practical living skills, social skills, art and music.

Through the use of carefully prepared materials and activities, plus communication with teachers and interaction with peers, children grow in personal independence, concentration, self-motivation and a genuine love of learning. Materials and activities are readily accessible to students. They enjoy freedom of movement and the ability to choose their own purposeful activity, and are given the time necessary to complete what they start. They are free to interact socially with their peers in the classroom, in conversation and in their play. By providing children with an atmosphere that fosters respect, curiosity and security, the Early Childhood environment gives children a solid base from which to begin their elementary years.
