Mrs schenk's prek-4 Class

Class Overview:

The 4-year-old program emphasizes kindergarten readiness and exploration. This program is designed to expand on the skills established in our 3-year-old program including socialization, independence, and group participation, and to prepare students for future elementary school experiences. Our engaging educational atmosphere is rich with discovery and possibility. Our goal is to encourage and challenge our students to become independent, enthusiastic learners.

We use a variety of instructional methods and developmentally appropriate activities to meet the varying cognitive, social and emotional needs of each individual child. To help prepare our students for upcoming kindergarten experiences, language and literacy activities further emphasize letter/sound relationships and are designed to promote reading readiness and encourage self expression. As fine motor skills develop, art activities can be more complex. Quantitative, comparative, and more detailed concepts are introduced as students demonstrate increased memory and attention skills in the 4-year-old program.
