moonwalkers
ages 4-5
(must be 4 by aug 31)
The Moonwalkers class is filled with our fours and our five-year-olds. This class is guided by the awareness that these children may be entering traditional school in a year. With an emphasis on creative play, children are introduced to a more formally structured day. Materials in this class are modified to reflect the Kindergarten curriculum and are developmentally appropriate for students who show readiness. Our overall focus is to provide an environment that allows our Moonwalkers the ability to develop the social-emotional skills they will need when they enter Kindergarten alongside an introduction to ABCs and 123s.
