Enrichment Days
Our 2 day Enrichment Program for 4 year olds meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings. One feature of our Enrichment Program is based on reading readiness and handwriting skills. By introducing a letter each week, we work with the children to learn the correct way to print both the capital and lower case of each letter and then, with fun games and projects, we reinforce each letter’s sound. In addition, we include lessons with numbers, including measurement and money, and regular science experiments, which introduce the children to a variety of scientific concepts and the process of experimentation. Another portion of our Enrichment Program includes storytelling, creative writing, drama and self expression, along with units on health and a variety of other topics.
This is an optional add-on to our regular three day program. It is offered on Tuesday or Thursday mornings, 9:00 – 11:45 AM. Please see Tuition/Programs for Enrichment Day tuition information.
A similar 1 day add-on is available for 3 year olds.
