Classes

Two-year olds, by nature, are inquisitive and curious.  We nurture this curiosity by allowing them the freedom to explore our classrooms.  We offer Two Day and Three Day Two Year Old classes. The goal of these classes is to allow the children to gain the security of their first school experience with the knowledge that the teachers care for them and that school is a fun place to be.  The curriculum goals are set to build self-confidence with self-assurance.  We accomplish these goals by:

  • Providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.
  • Giving the children the opportunity to make mistakes and then watch for the child to problem-solve independently, assisting as needed.
  • Providing opportunities to learn via engaging activities that build fine and gross motor, beginning literacy, and independent thinking skills. You will see these skills developed through the use of puzzles, blocks, art, sensory play, books, songs, and music.
  • Planning for free play and exploration.  These are a big part of the day for our Two’s. Playground time is vigorous and big time fun!

As a child moves into a Three-year old class, we are committed to helping him/her grow and progress over time.  We offer Two Day and Three Day Three Year Old classes.  Both classes use a variety of elements and approaches to provide a day filled with hands-on learning and creative centers.  Following the Kentucky Early Childhood Standards, our lesson planning invites children to explore and learn through the use of early literacy activities, Get Set for School, and Mindful Kids curricula. Our thematic approach to planning provides inquisitive children the opportunity to explore and learn in the classroom. We accomplish those goals by:

  • Providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.
  • Having access to open art centers daily.  The children are free to choose from a variety of art media: clay/dough, paints, markers, chalk, crayons, stencils, etc.
  • Extending learning opportunities by playing cooperatively on the expansive playground and school grounds.

Four Year Olds show an excitement for learning and know they are maturing!  They can understand complex and involved curriculum.  We offer Three Day and Five Day Pre-K options.  Both classes use a variety of elements and approaches to provide a day filled with hands-on learning and creative centers.

Our planning for this age group includes the Get Set for School curriculum, Mindful Kids, and elements of the HighScope curriculum. Each lesson plan is created to align with the Kentucky Early Childhood Standards.

Kindergarten readiness is a focus, along with supporting each child to develop a greater sense of self. Holding classroom jobs and communication with friends are key to navigating the society of a classroom environment.

We accomplish those goals by:

  • Providing a safe, loving, nurturing environment.
  • Providing a variety of books, songs, learning centers, sensory activities, and art to create an environment children willingly want to participate and engage in daily.
  • Having access to open art centers daily.  The children are free to choose from variety of art media:  clay/dough, paints, markers, chalk, crayons, stencils, etc.
  • Participating in the small group instructions in areas of Language Arts and Math.
  • Extending learning opportunities by playing cooperatively on the expansive playground and school grounds.
