Pre-Kindergarten I & II
Morning Star's major goal in Pre-Kindergarten classes is to equip our children with the readiness skills needed in kindergarten and elementary school. The love of learning really blossoms in this class and children glow as they master each new skill.
Continuing the prerequisites established in the Preschool classes, we also include lessons in proper table etiquette, manners, and following directions. Music, art, science, math, social studies, and computer are specifically tailored for this age group and made fun, enticing, creative, and stimulating. French is now more conversational, with an emphasis on the child responding and thinking in the second language. Community involvement and special guests are part of the daily activities.
The children are encouraged to seek their own individuality while learning to function as a group. No child is ever pressured to learn a specific skill but encouraged until learning becomes a game and the mastered skill a happy by-product of that game. Our children graduate from Pre-Kindergarten prepared and eager for the next stage in their development whether they move on to a private or public school.
As in all the Morning Star classes, the staff is especially trained in early childhood development as well as in C.P.R Parents are encouraged to participate in any activity and are always informed on day-to-day basis of their child's progress. |
