4 Day Program-- Pre Kindergarten -- 4's and 5's
This class is designed to prepare children for kindergarten, but is composed of
children who are definitely going to kindergarten the next year. Most children in
this group have fall birthdays and therefore just missed the kindergarten cut off or
are children who meet the deadline, but whose parents are delaying entry. Most
have at least one previous year in a preschool program. They are ready for more
challenges and structure; therefore, academics begin earlier for this group. There
is a strong emphasis on letter recognition and they begin the year with an alphabet
unit. Most children are interested in learning to print their names and eye-hand
coordination is becoming more developed, making it easier to master fine-motor
skills. They are less distracted and able to sit for longer periods during stories or
group activities. Units and activities differ from the 4's to allow children to
participate in the 4's one year and PreK the next year if necessary.
Activities include music, art, and dramatic play, as well as holiday projects and
various units on seasons and science activities. Outdoor play is provided -- weather
permitting. There are field trips to enrich units so children may develop a broader
view of their world.
Social skills are still an important part of this program and centers are designed to
enhance children's play.
