Preschool
education
provides the perfect format to support and encourage each child's
natural curiosity about the world around them, and provide children with
concrete cognitive and social skills that will serve as a solid foundation for
all future learning.
At Klub Kid Too, we provide Preschool Programs
for children 2 yrs. 9 mos. and up. Class
placement is determined by each child's age as of the Kindergarten cut-off date
for the town in which they reside, so that each child's Pre-Kindergarten class
always falls within the school year immediately preceding their entry into
Kindergarten. Preschool classes are
divided into Turning 3: Lady Bug and Inchworm Classes, Turning 4: Butterfly and
Dragonfly classes, and our Pre-K children will turn 5 years of age within the
academic school year: Bumble Bee and Grasshopper classes. Each class has a maximum of 10 children /
teacher, and averages 8 children /day.
Our
Preschool/ Pre-K curriculum follows the: MA Frameworks, MA Early Childhood
Program Standards, the MA Guidelines for Preschool Learning Experiences, and
the Common Core Standards. Although the
academic components of our Programs are designed to insure that children are
prepared for their eventual entry into elementary school, our focus is to instill
in children the love of learning, the power of asking questions and problem
solving, and the joy of effectively socializing and communicating with friends
and adults. Being successful in a social world requires learning how to:
appropriately express your thoughts and feelings, take turns and share, show
respect to other people and property, and learn how to be an active participant
in cooperative activities and play. Curriculum is individualized to meet the
needs of a variety of learning styles and to encourage each child to grow and
learn at their own rate.
