Our Primary Classroom
The Primary Classroom at K-Prep is for children ages 1 to 3 years. Children in the primary class benefit from a low teacher to child ratio of 1:5 and a class size of 15 or less students. Much of the focus in this classroom is on developing language and communication skills. Since these skills are learned in multiple ways, we offer many opportunities for your child to hear stories, dance to music, imitate finger plays and respond to a variety of art and sensory experiences. This classroom also includes a preschool program for children who are ready for a stronger academic content and developing preschool skills.

I am a toddler...
"I am a very curious explorer. I love to run, climb and examine everything in my environment. I am also learning how things work. Whether it is filling and dumping containers, scribbling with crayons or playing on the telephone -- I am very busy!" "I am beginning to understand your words and directions, although I don't always follow them. I learn to say new words every day, but my favorite is 'NO!' I love listening to stories, songs and finger plays. Give me some time I'll read a book to you." |
Here at K-Prep...
We love to explore with your toddler! We help their physical development by offering them plenty of space to run and climb outside. Activities from finger painting to building a block tower help keep little hands entertained and excited. We think learning is fun. Reading books about animals, vehicles, and simple objects helps aid in language development. Singing songs and repeating finger plays teaches your child basic concepts like colors, counting and body parts. We love being a part of your child's growing mind and world! |

I am a young preschooler...
"I am very active, inquisitive and independent. I absorb information through everything that I do. I want to explore the world and know how everything works. I am often excited to be a part of group activities, but I still need a lot of one on one attention." "I am two years old and like to do everything myself! My language is developing rapidly, and it is easier for me to tell you what I want and need right now. Although my patience and sharing skills are still developing, I enjoy watching and joining play with other children." |
Here at K-Prep...
We help guide your toddler from infancy to preschool. Our multi-age environment offers the opportunity to learn new skills that help toddlers feel comfortable and confident every day. We take the time to encourage independence through activities that model the preschool students. Your toddler's new language and sharing skills are reinforced when they help 'teach' a younger toddler or peer. We are as excited to teach as your toddler is to learn! Our teachers and children play and learn together everyday. Through sensory activities, imaginative play, early literacy, and number games, we captivate the excitement and energy of your toddler in an environment where play is learning. |
