In our Four-Year-Old program students continue exploring the world around them through free play, creative artwork, story time, and field trips. After completing our Four-Year-Old program, children are well prepared for their kindergarten year socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. Four-Year-Old classes take a more in-depth look at the alphabet by practicing writing each letter, investigating each letter, and the sound each letter makes. Activities such as games, puzzles, cutting, and use of various manipulatives help children continue to develop fine motor skills, which serve as the foundation for handwriting skills. Gross motor development continues during daily recess. In addition, Four-Year-Olds participate in Special Area classes which include Music, Christian Education, Learning Center, Science Lab, Chapel, My Gym and Creative Movement. Our four-year-olds also participate in yoga once a month, and two off-campus field trips a year which help enrich their learning and connect their knowledge to everyday interactions.
