Growing Tulips

(4 years to 5 years old)

Our Pre-K 4 program helps prepare children for kindergarten with a curriculum that enhances literacy, math, and social skills through engaging, interactive activities and a focus on personal development.

Social-Emotional

Children learn to regulate their emotions and behaviors by looking at situations differently and showing occasional patience. They follow classroom rules and routines with reminders, demonstrating responsibility for their own well-being and confidently meeting their needs.

Moreover, children establish positive relationships with adults, engaging with them as resources and sharing mutual interests. They accurately identify emotional reactions in others and interact positively with peers, using successful strategies to join groups and sustain interactions with a small group of children, initiating sharing and take turns, demonstrating cooperation and problem-solving skills by suggesting solutions to social problems.

Physical

They demonstrate traveling skills by purposefully moving from place to place with control and coordinating increasingly complex movements during play and games. Moreover, children exhibit balancing skills by sustaining balance not only during simple movement experiences but also during more complex ones.

Children display gross-motor manipulative skills by manipulating balls or similar objects with a full range of motion. Additionally, children develop fine-motor strength and coordination, utilizing refined finger and wrist movements as well as small, precise finger and hand movements.

They also begin to use writing and drawing tools, holding them with a three-point finger grip, although they may initially hold the instrument too close to one end.

Language

Children in the program advance in their ability to comprehend and express increasingly complex language. They demonstrate comprehension by responding appropriately to specific vocabulary and following detailed, multi-step directions related to familiar objects and experiences.

They use language effectively to express thoughts and needs, expanding their vocabulary and describing the use of familiar objects. Additionally, they speak clearly, although they may occasionally mispronounce new or unusual words. They construct complete sentences using conventional grammar and narrate stories about other times and places with logical order and major details.

Moreover, children engage in conversations of at least three exchanges, demonstrating appropriate conversational and communication skills by adhering to social rules of language.

Cognitive

Children demonstrate positive approaches by attending and engaging attentively, ignoring distractions, and pursuing challenging tasks persistently. Moreover, children solve problems efficiently, showing curiosity and eagerness to learn about diverse topics and ideas.

They display flexibility in thinking, utilizing creativity and imagination during play and being open to changing plans for better ideas. Additionally, children remember and connect experiences, narrating events in order, providing details, and evaluating experiences. They make connections between everyday experiences and apply this knowledge to similar situations.

Furthermore, children develop classification skills by grouping objects based on single characteristics and use symbols or images to represent absent objects, demonstrating symbolic thinking. They engage in sociodramatic play by acting out scenarios, using props to represent other objects and interacting with peers.

Literacy

They develop phonological awareness, noticing and discriminating rhymes, generating rhyming words, and recognizing alliteration. Moreover, children demonstrate knowledge of the alphabet by identifying and naming letters, recognizing letters in their own name, and identifying letter-sound correspondences. They also exhibit an understanding of print concepts, such as book orientation and recognizing familiar books by their cover.

Furthermore, children comprehend and respond to texts by interacting during reading experiences, asking and answering questions about the text, and identifying story-related problems and resolutions.

Additionally, children show emergent reading skills by pretending to read, describing actions across pages, and retelling stories with adult prompting. They also develop writing skills, writing their name, forming mock letters, and using drawings, dictations, or early invented spelling to convey messages.

Mathematics

They exhibit proficiency in counting, verbally counting up to 20 and accurately counting 10-20 objects, understanding that the last number represents the total quantity and predicting the next number in a sequence.

Furthermore, children quantify by recognizing and naming the number of items in small sets instantly, combining and separating objects, and creating sets of 6-10 objects while describing their parts and identifying comparative quantities. They connect numerals with quantities, identifying numerals by name and linking them to counted objects.

Additionally, children explore spatial relationships and shapes, using positional words accurately and describing basic two- and three-dimensional shapes. They compare and measure objects according to size, length, weight, area, or volume, utilizing multiples of the same unit for measurement and understanding the purpose of standard measuring tools.
