Junior Kindergarten Class Overview
Our Junior Kindergarten Program serves as a bridge into the Kindergarten years. Our teachers focus on refining children’s development creatively, socially, academically, and emotionally. We want to support their ever-increasing desire for self-sufficiency and independence as they continue to explore.
Children will continue to engage in hands-on learning as they further explore the arts, literacy, math, and science. One key difference in this program is the emphasis teachers place on children communicating their ideas of the world. There are plenty of opportunities to practice and hone communication and creation. Children will engage in collaborative activities as an opportunity to further develop their social skills. Lessons will extend to the play space,
encouraging collaboration during objective-based activities and large movements.
Lessons and tasks begin to encourage independent and critical thinking. Some tasks incorporate the use of number sense, for example. Children might be tasked with preparing tables for lunch, comparing the total amount of students with how many plates they need. Other tasks incorporate prior knowledge and the understanding of routine. Such tasks include children gathering materials for rest time.
