Our 4 Year Old Program

There is a morning class 9:00-11:30am and also an afternoon class 12:30-3:00pm.

Parents may choose 1,2,3,4 or all 5 days depending on availability.

Children in this class have the opportunity to stay for lunch depending on availability. There is an extra fee to stay for lunch and children bring their lunch from home. If space is available children may also stay for additional session. I.e. 9:00am-3:00pm. This is also determined by availability.

Children in this class are in preparation for their entry into kindergarten for the following year. Children will have the understanding of peer interaction and will practise and master cooperative play. Their language skills are improved so we will be helping them to negotiate, solving problems, and inviting peers into their play. Fine motor skills such as cutting skills, pre-writing, educational toys will be practiced every day. The children will have daily opportunities to practised self-help skills such as dressing, toileting, being responsible for their snack bags and personal belongings. Listening skills, waiting turns, music and movement, games, math concepts, shapes, color recognition, felt stories are experienced in our circle times. As a three year old they were taught their ABCs as four year olds we use a program called "Fun with Phonics". This program will help the children now learn and understand the phonically sound of the letters and we will begin to put words together and sound them out.

In each session, children will have opportunities to engage in gross motor in gym time and also in our secured playground.

The teachers will be encouraging children to explore their independence and promote the developmental milestones along the way.
