Plateau II - Traditional, Flex, 5 Day, Prep

Junior Kindergarten Curriculum-Building a Foundation for their future education.

Traditional

We incorporate the new Alberta Government Early Learning Curriculum. Your child moves through the Art, Music and Play areas each session. Through our “cross curriculum” activities in Art and Music, pre-reading including letter recognition, phonics, numeracy and STEM are taught. We ensure that each child participates fully in every area in order to develop the necessary skills for kindergarten.

The Playroom is a vital part of our program. It is here that your child will acquire the necessary social skills, will develop confidence in making good decisions and have FUN!

Parents are welcome at any time to visit. There is no mandatory volunteering required.

This program is five days a week covering the Junior Kindergarten Curriculum.

Plateau II-with an additional two sessions to explore early literacy, phonics, letter recognition,numeracy skills, science and music.

Promoting Independence in Children

Expect more. Most people have a way of living up (or down) to expectations -- preschoolers included. Raise the bar and your child will probably stretch to meet it.

Resist doing for the child what they can do themselves. While it may be quicker and easier to do it yourself, it won't help to make your child more self-sufficient. Take the time to show them and let them go from there. When provided the option kids always want to do it for themselves.

Don't redo what they've done. If your child makes their bed, resist the urge to smooth the blankets. If they dress themselves in stripes and polka dots, compliment them on their "eclectic" style. Unless absolutely necessary, don't fix what your child accomplishes. They will notice and it may discourage them.
