LITTLE LEARNERS
(AGES 5-6; *4 YEARS OLD WITH READINESS)
TIME: Afternoon
Little Learners is a perfect setting for young learners in the Core Phase to learn through play. We will create a safe environment of exploration which will allow the students to grow their love of learning. As a Core Phase class the primary focus is creating relationships, character development, and learning through play.
Little Learners is designed for students in the Core phase who are ready to learn in a Preschool/Kindergarten-type setting. Students will learn a new letter each week and do activities to further explore it. We will encourage the children to ask questions so we can find what piques their interest in the world around them. We will be exploring ideas to answer these questions through books, songs and movement to encourage many different learning styles in each lesson. Character will also be focused on, with role plays, games, activities, and home enrichment. New skills will be practiced to further enhance their core experience such as cutting, tracing, and writing as well as life skills such as tying shoes, practicing gratitude and importance of hygiene. Play and discovery will be a part of this Montessori-style classroom. We can’t wait to explore the world with your little learner.
Readiness for the class is based on these skills):
