Programs for young Children
Our Kindergarten Readiness Program
Classrooms: Raccoons and Squirrels (ages 4-5)
Our school systems ask a lot of kindergarteners. They need to be able to pay attention and come to school ready to learn from day one in order to achieve the benchmarks set for elementary students. Helping children bridge that gap between preschool and kindergarten can help lay the foundation for a lifetime of successful learning. Kids who understand simple concepts — such as letters and numbers — and know how to interact with peers and actively participate during lessons will have a smoother adjustment period.
At FishCreek Kids Academy, we offer educational development programs for children ages 4 and 5 that can help get them ready for kindergarten. Our early learning academy focuses on preparing your child for their first year of formal education. We have curriculum to address their academic needs as well as lessons that emphasize other aspects of holistic development, such as emotional, physical and creative growth.
What Makes US Different?
Kindergarten is more than just academics. The social and emotional elements are equally important. Your child needs to know how to relate to peers in real life situations and pay attention, or it will be a difficult transition into elementary school. Our Kindergarten Readiness program encourages self-expression balanced with self-control, helping kids learn how to cope with difficult situations and enjoy the feeling of success when they accomplish a new task. We emphasize problem-solving skills so they can learn to do it themselves as they get older.
Of course, physical and imaginative play also is very beneficial for children at this age. They need these outlets in order to focus on the classroom, and we make this time as productive as possible by combining lessons with discussions about manners and health.
We base our lessons, peer interactions, creative play opportunities and more around the skills kindergarteners need. Your child won’t find the same advanced concepts at other academies or preschool programs. The daily schedule of activities and projects includes:
- Morning PE Program to emphasize movement benefits and refining coordination skills
- 2x Daily Circle Time
