This class is designed to prepare the child
for Kindergarten. In this class children learn to manage their own belongings and class supplies. We continue
to express creativity through music, art, and free play. All art media is available and explored through painting, drawing,
glueing and cutting. These activities also develop small motor skills. The outdoor equipment helps your child to improve
large motor skills. Free play in the kitchen area, block corner and sand table encourages creativity, decision making, and
social interaction.
