The Giraffes
The Giraffes is our 4-5 year old Pre-K Class. The class schedule is carefully designed to enhance each child’s skills, while meeting them at their level of comprehension, as well as ensuring that developmental milestones are reached as they prepare for the transition into Kindergarten.
We have a Maximum Ratio of 10 children to a Teacher and we foster learning and skills enhancement in an environment where their learning is enriched through active engagement in the learning process and use the A BEKA Curriculum to forward their knowledge and creativity. We also focus on self expression, creative play, computer skills, and socialization. The skills taught and reinforced, build upon the ones learned in earlier educational stages as teachers meet children at their level of learning and engage them in activities to stimulate their overall growth and development.
Lessons include activities to enhance skills in:
- Beginning Reading
- Beginning Math
- Nature & Science
- Arts & Crafts
- Fine and Gross Motor Skills Enhancement & Recreational Play
- Music, Creative Expression & Dance
- Socialization, Communication & Comprehension
