4K Language and Literacy
Curriculum
-
The program actively teaches syllables, names and sounds of letters, how to respond to simple questions, and how to have discussions and share ideas. Children also learn the difference between drawing and writing, associate books with reading, ‘read’ environmental print, and ultimately learn the many benefits of early reading and writing. Children also learn to identify letter symbols, both capital and lowercase, by letter names. They learn how these “symbols” work together to form printed words and how printed words related to spoken language.

4K Numbers and Math
Curriculum

This program makes math concepts relevant and fun for children. With playful manipulatives, music, and rhymes, our numbers and math program teaches counting, comparisons, spatial awareness, patterning, sequencing, matching, sorting, problem solving, and even Pre-K geometry skills. The program helps students build number sense right from the start. They also get time to play with real objects and test their ideas so that math becomes real and meaningful. Children also learn how to express their math concepts.

4K Writing
Curriculum and Writing Process
-
The Handwriting without Tears: Get Set for School program incorporates child-friendly teaching strategies, such as using music and movement to bring lessons to life, and multisensory manipulatives to build fine and gross motor skills. Our readiness and writing lessons teach body awareness, cooperation, taking turns, listening, crayon grip, drawing, building, letter and number recognition, capital letter and number formation.
-
The writing method used is Kid Writing. We use journal writing to help children learn sound/letter relationships. They he students first think about and then draw a picture of what they want to say. Drawing a picture first serves as a pre-writing organizer for the students. After drawing a picture, the students tell a story about thier drawing. They are encouraged to use "kid writing", which is where the students make letters for the sounds in the words. Teachers help with the sounding out process as needed, encourage collaboration and the use of word walls and other print found in the classroom, The teacher then underwrites the stroy the "adult way".
