Tiny Seeds
Age: 2 years old by September 5th
Tiny Seeds introduces our littlest learners to letters, numbers, colors and shapes. Lesson plans include language development, learning the alphabet, recognizing numbers and learning to count. Learning centers use blocks, puzzles, creative art, and books. At this stage, toddlers are becoming more independent and our teachers promote practicing life skills like hand washing, picking up toys and sharing with friends. Tiny Seeds will be introduced to Zoo-Phonics, a kinesthetic and multi-sensorial language arts program where children use their eyes, ears, mouths and bodies to learn.
Tiny Seeds do not have to be potty trained. We appreciate if they are, but understand if it is still a work in progress. We will work with you, as a team, to help them reach that goal.

Language development includes story time and play to enrich their imaginations and teach listening and verbal interaction in a group setting. We continue to use our phonics program, Zoo-Phonics, at a more advanced level. Science, art and cooking will be weaved into their weekly themes to promote prediction and problem solving skills.

Mighty Oaks
Age: entering Kindergarten the following school year
Our Mighty Oaks class promotes cooperative play to learn problem solving through lesson plans that teach the children to use independent reasoning and develop manners and social skills. Our teachers introduce the structure of a classroom setting and concentrate on early reading and math skills. Language lessons include story time followed by content questions. Phonics and writing are weaved throughout all theme based learning. Learning Without Tears is used to help build a strong foundation of proper letter formation. In math, adding and subtracting are introduced along with graphing, grouping, sorting and comparisons. In science and discovery, they will learn about chemical reactions, the earth and outer space, weather, colors, and the five senses. Social studies teach the children about their community and different cultures. They will daily discuss, negotiate and strategize to create community play scenes, take turns, and work together toward mutual goals. A main focus of this class is Kindergarten readiness.
