This program is designed to give preschoolers who may need an extra year of learning and growing before entering kindergarten. It is recommended that children be able to cut with scissors independently, write their name, and recognize letters and numbers. Although there is free choice/play in this class, it is more curriculum driven. The teachers expand on phonics, handwriting without tears, number and letter recognition, site words and STEM units. There are two teachers and a maximum of 18 students. Available for students who will reach the age of 5 by January 1, 2024 and recommended for students who have completed a 4's program.
