Preschool & Kindergarten

Language Arts:

• Expression and Communication: Children learn to effectively express their needs, confidently name objects, and respond to prompts from adults.
• Understanding and Memorization: We use repetition of words and phrases, memorization of joyful nursery rhymes, and engaging word-sound games to nurture their developing phonological awareness.
• Familiarity with Written Texts: Activities are designed to help children maintain attention during story readings and to encourage their independent exploration and enjoyment of books.

Other Activities:

• Early Mathematics: We introduce foundational math concepts through playful activities such as basic nesting puzzles, construction games, and sorting objects by various attributes.
• Physical Activities: Motor, sensory, and intellectual development are fostered through hands-on manipulation of materials and engaging group games, promoting coordination and exploration.
• Artistic Activities: Children are encouraged to explore their creativity and imagination through various artistic expressions, including drawing, painting, and music.
• Exploring the World: Children begin to understand and follow the daily schedule, grasping the sequence of different times of day. They also learn to confidently navigate the classroom and become familiar with various areas of the school environment.

Language Arts:

• Oral Language Acquisition: Children begin to produce increasingly longer sentences, actively developing their syntax and expanding their vocabulary. Their speech becomes clearer and better adapted to different situations.
• Reading Readiness: We introduce foundational phonological awareness and alphabetic principles through short, structured, and regularly repeated activities. Children gradually learn to associate writings seen in the classroom with their practical usage.
• Writing Readiness: Pre-writing skills are developed through a variety of activities, including exercises for manual dexterity and tracing different shapes (lines, loops, circles). Careful attention is given to proper pencil grip, wrist movement, object alignment, and finger flexibility.

Other Activities:

• Early Mathematics: Through engaging games and everyday objects, children discover low single-digit numbers by creating, counting, and comparing collections, and by learning counting rhymes. Construction games and puzzles help them manipulate and recognize basic geometric shapes.
• Physical Activities: Children participate in group games and motor skill circuits designed to develop cooperation and socialization skills while enhancing their physical abilities.
• Artistic Activities: Students explore and utilize various tools, materials, and instruments to stimulate their creativity and artistic expression.
• Exploring the World: Students are learning to manage their personal belongings and classroom materials independently. They become more aware of their position in relation to others and can identify different moments of the day using visual aids like photos.

Language Arts:

• Oral Language Acquisition: Through engaging songs and captivating stories, children significantly expand their vocabulary and develop more structured language, forming increasingly longer sentences. They learn to regulate conversations, responding appropriately and taking turns. They practice describing objects and actions, asking questions, and narrating short stories.
• Reading Readiness: Foundational work focuses on manipulating syllables, recognizing rhymes, and understanding initial letter-sound correspondences. Children begin to distinguish individual phonemes and can identify the letters in their own name and other familiar words. They also enhance their comprehension of stories, learning to identify their chronological order.
• Writing Readiness: Children grasp that writing is distinct from drawing and that written symbols encode sounds. By understanding the relationships between alphabet letters and sounds, they learn to write the sounds they hear, which significantly contributes to their phonemic awareness. Children with developing fine motor skills practice writing simple words using uppercase print letters. Teachers provide guidance on correct pencil grip and proper posture.

Mathematics:

• Number Sense: Children continue to explore single-digit numbers using tangible objects like tokens, cubes, and their fingers, and begin to familiarize themselves with lower two-digit numbers. We encourage children to explore, experiment with, and articulate the procedures they use in problem-solving.
• Geometry and Measurement: Students learn to recognize three-dimensional solids (cube, sphere, square-based pyramid, cylinder) and two-dimensional geometric shapes (triangle, square, circle). They then compare objects based on their length or mass.
• Patterns: Children become familiar with organized patterns, such as repetitive and alternating sequences, which stimulates their logical thinking and algorithmic skills.

Other Activities:

• Physical Activities: Continued engagement in activities designed to develop gross motor skills and coordination. Children participate in group dances and circle games.
• Artistic Activities: Creation of collective or small-group artistic compositions. Children participate in group singing and listen to various musical works.
• Exploring the World: Children develop a better sense of orientation throughout their day and can successfully complete obstacle courses based on given instructions. They learn to name the different parts of the human body.

Mathematics:

• Number Sense: Students expand their understanding of numbers, becoming familiar with double-digit numbers. They are progressively encouraged to perform mental calculations and use manipulatives to verify their results. Frequent and regular sessions are dedicated to problem-solving and applying mathematical concepts to real-life situations.
• Geometry: In geometry, children continue to explore three-dimensional solids (cube, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, sphere) and two-dimensional plane shapes (square, triangle, rectangle, circle).
• Patterns: They continue to work with organized patterns, with a specific focus on understanding and creating evolving patterns.

Language Arts:

• Oral Language Acquisition: The rich vocabulary acquired throughout preschool enables children to speak more extensively and articulately. They continue to refine their syntax, particularly by listening to and rephrasing stories read daily by the teacher. They begin to form increasingly complex sentences, incorporating logical and temporal connectors. Furthermore, they diversify their use of pronouns and develop a more effective understanding of verb tenses.
• Reading Readiness: Consistent and systematic practice with syllables, rhymes, and phonemes continues to provide children with the essential foundation for effectively beginning to read and write in first grade. They can name the letters of the alphabet and recognize the different forms of each letter (uppercase/lowercase print, and cursive). Through enjoyable reading experiences provided by the teacher, children gradually build an initial appreciation for literature.
• Writing Readiness: Through early writing attempts and teacher-guided dictation activities, children understand that written language follows specific rules and differs from spoken language. They memorize the spelling of simple words or familiar syllables to reuse them in their written work.

Other Activities:

• Physical Activities: Continued engagement in activities designed to enhance motor skills and coordination. Children participate in group games, experimenting with various strategies to achieve a shared goal.
• Artistic Activities: Creation of two-dimensional or three-dimensional artistic compositions and participation in collective exhibitions. Children are encouraged to express their sensitivity and emotions in response to visual or musical works.
• Exploring the World: Children learn to sequence events within a day and a week, mentioning the current month and season. They develop an awareness of their surroundings and reflect on their impact on the environment, considering how to adjust their habits.
