Curriculum
Our program is especially designed to meet the needs of three to six year-olds, fostering security, independence and self-confidence. Because the materials and activities are sequential in nature, and build upon previous experience, they are of maximum benefit to children who start the program at age three and continue to the end of their Kindergarten year. Therefore we strongly encourage families to make a three-year commitment.
Some of the activities that your child will explore include:
Practical Life Exercises
Develops skills and self-sufficiency in everyday situations
Sensorial Activities
Broadens and refine sense perceptions
Language Activities
Nourishes your child’s vocabulary, self-expression and reading and writing skills

Music Program
The Orff music program promotes a variety of singing, instrument playing, creative movement and rhythmic or locomotor activities. This relaxed, informal atmosphere, known as the Music Room, is also conducive to quiet listening where you child will experience story telling, poetry writing, music composition and dramatic enactments, all of which play an important part in the rich cultural and creative life of the school.
