This class is for children who are 4 to 5 years old or will be 4 years old by September 1st.
Learning approach and classroom experience:
The child‑to‑adult ratio is 1 to 7 with a maximum of 14 students, allowing certified teachers to tailor lessons and provide the attention each child needs for growth and kindergarten readiness. Small class sizes let teachers individualize instruction while keeping group routines predictable and supportive. Activities mix teacher‑led instruction, hands‑on centers, and child‑directed exploration through weekly themes that reinforce literacy, math, science, social studies, and the arts. Students practice social skills, problem solving, fine‑ and gross‑motor development, and practical self‑help skills in a joyful, collaborative setting.
Teacher: Mrs. Raymond
Class Aide: Mrs. Thoman
