KinderClub
Learn Joyfully
Inspired by Curiosity and Wonder
KinderClub is an early learning program tailored for children aged 3.5 to 6 years that embraces a Reggio Emilio-inspired, dynamic, and play-based approach. Designed as a mixed-age kindergarten small group class, each lesson is meticulously crafted to be student-centered, fostering learning through authentic experiences and exploration rather than through rote memorization or traditional worksheets. Our curriculum integrates vital aspects of social-emotional learning, meeting children at their individual skill levels to nurture early development in math, reading, and writing within a joyful and engaging environment.
At the core of KinderClub is a commitment to support your family through the various stages of your child’s early education. Whether your child is taking their first steps in an educational setting, transitioning towards more structured learning in preparation for public school, or you are seeking supplemental support for your homeschooled kindergartener, KinderClub is designed to cater to these diverse needs. Our goal is to provide a foundation that not only prepares children academically but also ensures they are emotionally and socially equipped to thrive in their educational journeys ahead. Join us at KinderClub, where learning is a delightful adventure filled with new discoveries every day!

English Language Arts
Children begin each day with handwriting practice through large and fine-motor activities. Close to follow is story time, that introduces or builds on our weekly theme. Kids are divided up into small groups based off of the skills they are learning, which could be anywhere between a first introduction to the alphabet and phonics, then to learning to read, and then to building reading skills through various hands-on and explorative activities. The reading and writing curriculum that is used is based on the Science of Reading approach..
Social-Emotional
Students learn about their emotions and feelings and how to navigate them using the "A Little Spot" Series, "2nd Step" and "Kelso's Choices." They also learn problem-solving strategies using Kelso's Choices and how to give "I-Messages" when an issue with a friend arises.
Ample playtime and cooperative learning is built into our day to practice these important skills.
Math
