Curriculum Detail
What Children Practice Over 6 Weeks
During the six-week program, children practice early literacy, mathematical thinking, classroom routines, and social and emotional skills that support the transition to Kindergarten.
Literacy & Phonics
Transitioning from letter recognition to phonemic awareness. We practice blending sounds, early sight words, and proper pencil grip for handwriting stamina.
Mathematical Reasoning
Going beyond rote counting to understand number sense. We explore 1-to-1 correspondence, complex patterning, and basic addition/subtraction concepts.
Executive Function
The secret to K success. We teach self-regulation, how to follow multi-step instructions independently, and how to resolve peer conflicts collaboratively.
