In the 4.5 – 6 year old Jr. Kindergarten class focus is placed on language arts and math fundamentals to promote excitement about learning new concepts. For these active learners our lesson plans are filled with activities to help each child grow socially, intellectually and physically.  Language development includes story time and puppet play to enrich their imaginations and teach listening and verbal interaction in the group setting.  We continue to use teach phonics and writing at a more advanced level.  In math, they will go beyond just counting and learn to group, graph, and recognize patterns.  These children must be 4.5 years old by October of the enrolment year.
