4-Year-Old Class

The purpose of this class is to provide children with a warm, safe, and stimulating environment in which they can build friendships and pursue knowledge. Children spend time engaged in whole class activities, working as part of a small group and exploring independently. Topics of study usually stem from interests expressed by the children and activities generally relate to these themes. Activities are designed to promote the cognitive, social/emotional and physical development of each child. Art, language experiences, pretend play, gross and fine motor activities, building, music, snack and science experiments are some of the components which make up each week.
