4 Approach
The Pre K Approach
In Pre-K, we continue to teach the children through a play-based curriculum. During this year, they prepare for Kindergarten by learning to recognize sight words and develop skills like counting and phonemic awareness. Responsibility for one’s own learning is developed, such as being able to initiate a project, manage time, and think through how to solve the problem at hand.
We design the Pre-K day so that academic skills are learned in concert with developing executive functioning skills. A balance of structured and unstructured time in the classroom allows many opportunities for practicing independence and collaborating with others.
