Explorer's Class
Our Explorer’s Class is a special afternoon program for children who started out in the West or South Classrooms in the morning. It is enriched with special math, language, science, cooking, arts & crafts and geography activities that are geared toward older children.
Our Explorer’s Class is an afternoon enrichment program for our students who attend the 5 day am program. It is designed for children who might need a longer day and additional academic challenges. The routine of the Explorers’ class adheres to a more typical kindergarten format and therefore guides your child as s/he complete his/her last year of preschool and begin the transition into Kindergarten. The daily structure includes a whole group lesson, table work and after an independent work time, children gather on the rug to review the lesson of the day. The expectations of this classroom are such that children must be four years old in order to enroll in this class. Generally the class studies specific themes for a short period of time. We incorporate a multidisciplinary curriculum within the Explorers Class so that the children explore a specific theme in different ways. The curriculum incorporates math, language, science, cooking, arts & crafts, music, movement and geography activities that are geared toward children who will be moving up to Kindergarten next year. These activities are stimulating and fun for the children, but the standards of attention and independence are greater than those in our regular 5 day programs. If you are interested in this program for your son or daughter, please contact your child’s teacher or Jorinda for further discussion.
