KINDERGARTEN READINESS for age appropriate children is important to us. Therefore, our PreKindergarten teachers take special care to help children develop the skills needed for a successful transition into kindergarten. As much as possible, the development of such skills is encouraged through creative use of reading, writing, counting, classroom responsibilities and appropriate social behavior throughout the choice time activities in which the children engage with each other every day. In addition to the productive, child-directed use of choice or free play time, our teachers use group or circle time to assist in the development of attention and listening skills and to creatively encourage each child’s recognition of letters, numbers, sentence structure, one to one correspondence, and other fundamental academic skills. Much of this is accomplished through read-aloud, storytelling, songs, games, finger-plays, arts and crafts and other projects.
