A clear look at what our 2s, 3s, and Pre‑K (4s) learn with us—designed to be developmentally right and genuinely fun.
Gentle routines, songs, stories, and sensory play. Early counting, colors, shapes, name recognition, and potty‑training support.
The 2s program builds early language, group awareness, listening, and both fine and gross motor skills. Across the year, children explore basic shapes and colors, are introduced to letters and letter sounds, begin counting and work with numbers 0–10, and move from recognizing their written first name to spelling it by year’s end.
We practice correct tripod grip, tracing, and the fine‑motor skills used in cutting, gluing, and painting. Daily routines include circle time and calendar, stories and songs, and lots of imaginative, hands‑on play (blocks, puzzles, dolls, wheeled toys, and manipulatives). Children who are not yet toilet trained may enroll; we partner with families on potty training throughout the year.
Pre‑reading and early writing foundations, patterning, sorting, fine‑motor practice, and collaborative projects.
In the 3s, language growth and independence take off. We strengthen pre‑reading and pre‑writing: connecting letters to sounds (phonics), playing with rhymes and beginning sounds (phonemic awareness), and building print awareness (left‑to‑right, words & letters).
Fine‑motor practice includes line/shape/letter tracing along with cutting, painting, and drawing. By year’s end, most children recognize many upper‑ and lower‑case letters, know many letter sounds, can write their first name, and can spell first and last names.
In math, we count to 20, work with quantities, recognize and write numerals 0–10, predict simple patterns, and sort by multiple categories. Social‑emotionally, children learn to cooperate, share, use words for feelings, and be increasingly independent (including bathroom routines).
Kindergarten readiness: phonics, handwriting, number sense to 20+, problem solving, and social‑emotional leadership.
Our five‑day Pre‑K program prepares children for Kindergarten socially and academically. With small classes (≤12), each child gets focused support while also practicing larger‑group skills through joint Pre‑K activities.
We use an integrated, research‑aligned reading & writing program. Before reading, children learn phoneme segmentation and sound blending; handwriting is taught with the Zaner‑Bloser approach. Math extends beyond counting into money, time, tallying, graphing, measurement, and number bonds.
Weekly hands‑on science includes learning the steps of the scientific method—and that iteration (including failure) is part of discovery. Movement and teamwork show up in obstacle courses, yoga, and playful challenges (think “laser mazes” made of yarn).
