Your child will learn:

  • to recognize colors, shapes, letters, and numbers
  • important social skills like how to pay attention in class and interact with other children
  • listening and speaking skills
  • early reading skills like how to hold a book, turn the pages, and look at pictures
  • basic math skills such as counting and measuring

Your child will also develop skills in science, social studies, fine arts and physical development for a balanced education. The curriculum taught is research-based and follows a state-mandated curriculum.

Cognitive break and nap mats

We have a cognitive break for 40 minutes. This is a time for students to rest their head and wind down and recharge for the rest of the afternoon. Your child needs a nap mat and a blanket for school. They can keep in their cubby for the week. Please make sure the blanket can fit in your child’s backpack.

For which type of nap mat to purchase, whichever your child prefers: a plastic mat or fabric roll up/sleeping bag.

  • If you send the plastic mat, it’ll stay at the school in the child’s cubby in their classroom. 
  • If you bring a fabric mat, it’ll be sent home to be washed on Friday and bring it back on Monday to keep in their cubby for the week.
