In an interactive and encouraging setting a child’s words become full sentences for which to express themselves. Soon doors open to visual recognition of words in print and then into the wonderful world of books with words. One exciting newly learned thing leads to the next in activities that include cooking, coloring, rhymes and songs. Math skills begin by sorting colors and shapes. Sand and water play teach measuring, volume and weight. Plenty of time each day is spent in both structured and unstructured play – on the playground, on walking trails on campus, in the gym and in the classroom. This fun year of newfound knowledge sets a pace for many enthusiastic years to come.
