CLASS DESCRIPTIONS AT-A-GLANCE

The main focus of Time for Tots is socialization and learning through play. Children have free choice of activities. Some activities may be messy, so wear your grubbies. Only enrolled children may attend. Price includes parent and one child. NO SIBLINGS. PLEASE.

This class prepares your child for kindergarten with age-appropriate activities, learning concepts, socialization skills and fun. Your child will gain a basic understanding of shapes, colors and pre-phonics and literacy building (i.e. identifying letter sounds, and writing the alphabet and simple words), as well as number recognition, and counting up to 30. The goal is to have fun, participate and learn. Children must be fully potty trained by the first day of class.

Children will be introduced to socialization, positive self-esteem, following directions and simple learning concepts. Children will work on hand eye coordination, motor skills, and gain independence through the use of circle time, music, songs, stories, play and arts and crafts. Food will be provided for cooking activities and may be provided for special events. Children must be fully potty trained before the start of class.

Children will prepare for kindergarten with a higher focus on word recognition, reading preparedness, kinder level science and mathematical concepts. The curriculum is specific to pre-kindergarten students who already have knowledge of the English alphabet and can count up to 30. In preparation for kindergarten, children will be eased into a more traditional Monday - Friday program, providing light homework, and of course FUN! Children must be fully potty trained by the first day of class.
