Early Years
age: 3-4 years old
An interactive environment ideal for the development of linguistic, mathematic and creative abilities that are introduced in Elementary School through innovative and engaging learning models. Curiosity is stimulated to allow students to express their creativity and connect with the world around them.
Kindergarten
(3 years old)
Kindergarten is an extremely important year for each child. It is often the first time he or she has attended school and spent any length of time away from parents and family. It may also be a student’s first exposure to a school setting in which a regular pattern of lessons and activities fills the day.
Acquisition of language, mathematical skills and creative/aesthetic understanding, as well as development of physical control and coordination, are important to a young child’s progress in Kindergarten.
Transition
(4 years old)
Transition is a significant year for a student. As the name implies, Transition bridges the developmental period between the nursery-style aspect of Kindergarten and the early Elementary Years. In Transition, students are taught the fundamental principles that underlie what they will study throughout their lives. Different styles of learning are explored, and a broader view is gained of the surrounding community and a student’s own special place within it.
