the program
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. |
