Toddler/Transition
This is our toddler/transition program beginning from 12 months to 3 years. This is the time we aid children in developing focus and sustained attention. Teaching them completion of work – to begin a task and completing it and making them self-reliant is especially important. A lot of emphasis is given on hand eye coordination, motor skills, and control of the body. Potty training is an important part of the toddler/transition program.
Primary
This is our Early Childhood stage 3 - 5 years. Every child contains unique and boundless potential; the role of the teacher is to guide children and help them develop on their own terms. After a child is assessed [challenging points in the different areas], the teacher starts working. Different areas – Language, Math, Cultural, Science, Sensorial, and Practical life are emphasized in the classroom.
VPK- Pre Kindergarten
Starting from 4+ the VPK curriculum is introduced. Around this time the teachers are focusing on moving from the concrete to the abstract. Lot of emphasis is given on writing and math concepts. Work hours get longer and children are prepared for the area public, private, and charter schools.
