Our prekindergartners are really shining now! They have grown and learned so much already, but their thirst for more answers is unquenchable. We are ready to answer the numerous “Why” questions and have developed new and challenging activities and social interactions to cultivate new questions. Children’s Garden Day School incorporates the New Jersey as well as Nation-based Core Curriculum Content Standards for preschool education and our experienced faculty prepare your children for their advancement to kindergarten. Identifying the beginning sounds of words, comprehension of printed material, and recognizing rhyme will prepare your child for early reading success. The concepts of handwriting and letter formation will be introduced in preparation for kindergarten writing, in addition to beginning phonics and word recognition. Age-appropriate technology will also be utilized in the classroom.

Health and physical education basics will be introduced. Increasing attention span, understanding rules and following direction will be emphasized. Concepts such as empathy, patience and tolerance will be further developed and modeled. Counting, comparing and recognizing mathematical concepts will be broadened along with observing, investigating and exploring to grasp science and social studies concepts. The PreK’s curriculum will be linked through creative arts such as music, dramatic play, visual arts and dance making learning fun!
