Program Overview:
Kindergartners have so much to learn and at Wesley we believe children learn best through play & social interaction. Children engage in fun and interesting activities to meet the individual physical, emotional, and educational needs of each child. Activities are planned through weekly themes. Themes may include Dinosaurs, authors such as Eric Carle, The Solar System, Native Americans, Shapes & Colors, Insects, The Alphabet, and Our Neighborhood. Daily activities focus on reinforcing kindergarten skills through all areas of the curriculum. Large group activities are alternated with free play through our child-friendly learning centers. Learning centers include writing, science & math, computer, art, dramatic play, games, listening, reading, sensory, and a block area. Outside and/or gym time is also incorporated into each day.
Teachers:
Each classroom is staffed with a Teacher and a Teacher’s Assistant. Our teachers hold a 2 or 4 year elementary education, early childhood education, or related degree. Our assistants have previous child-related experience and education. Each program has a maximum daily class-size of 20 per day. Our enthusiastic teachers & assistants provide children with a safe and caring learning environment.
