( 3-6 Years)

Although ABC’s and numbers are very important concepts, others are equally as important to prepare children for kindergarten.  Throughout the year (s) in this room we provide periods throughout the day that permit creativity, socialization, discovering, music and movement, sharing, center areas and freedom of expression.

Since most of our students will remain in this room for more than one year, each area is carefully created with your child in mind.  Our centers are individualized for each stage of development without cause for competition.  The classroom in its entirety revolves around the four basic areas of development during these stages of life:  physical; emotional; cognitive and social.  These areas will serve as the basis for their future success.

Our center areas integrate letter recognition, phonics, writing and reading (which includes but are not limited to poems, stores and songs). We still believe the best way to learn about the environment is through hand-on learning.  All of our materials have a control of error and are self-directed.

Students are introduced to math by measurement, counting and patterns.  They will also begin to use these skills and create their own masterpieces with cooking; which also incorporates Science.  All of our lessons and centers in the room are interdisciplinary.

The world is full of exciting experiences and places to explore.  At Tiny Tiki’s Learning Center, we strive to make these experiences positive and unforgettable. Our classroom is specially designed to encourage safe exploration in a fun, learning environment while building a strong foundation for elementary school.
