Our Curious Fours Overview

 

Our four year old program is designed to improve writing and math skills while starting pre-reading development. We also place an emphasis on supporting the growth of confidence that many children naturally begin to develop at this age. Children will have usually turned four before entering the program although some may turn four shortly after starting.

​

Program

Academics

 

Four year olds are introduced to more structure and opportunities to explore. Children work more regularly on their writing skills including capital and lower case letters. They also spend a significant amount of time learning about phonics since it teaches the fundamental building blocks of successful reading. Math?

At this age, children start to become aware of their own talents and begin recognizing how they compare to other children. This is an important year to build confidence by making sure each child feels supported to try every activity, even if they perhaps do not always get the answer right the first time. Although the children still have free play time, it is usually planned in the afternoon.

 

Children participate in the following weekly specialty classes:

• Kindermusiek         

• Soccerstarz

• Dance Mouse

• Monkeynastix

• Build em Brix

• Kindy Drama

• Ballet          

 

Field Trips

Four year old’s also participate in monthly field trips to places like the Natural History Museum, Cox Farm and local playgrounds.
