The Primary Program covers three basic areas:
Practical
Life includes taking care of self, keeping one's work
area clean and orderly, choosing a task and putting it away. Kindness
and respect for others are emphasized.
Sensorial
Experience exposes your child to a variety of colors,
sounds, shapes, and textures through specially-designed materials.
Three dimensional manipulatives strengthen and organize their
perceptions. Our sensory materials provide a concrete foundation
for abstract concepts at the same time that they educate the senses.
Intellectual
Development includes working with materials which
introduce children to writing, math concepts, reading, geography,
music and art.
This
method of education tends to develop the following attributes
in children.
- Self discipline
- Respect
for others
- Patience
and the ability to share
- Independence
- Good work
habits
- Care and
respect for the environment and others
- Self confidence
and self reliance
- The desire
to make a difference in the world
The Extended
Day curriculum is for children who are a little older
and ready for a full day of classroom work. These children are
invited to stay for this program. The smaller extended day class
allows more time for concentrated academic study along with special
activities such as crafts and dancing. |
