Junior Kindergarten

JK4 Only

Our French teacher visits the JK4 class once a week and uses games, songs, and hands-on activities to help the children develop an understanding of the French language. The introduction of French during preschool, using the Accelerative Integrated Method (AIM), allows children to become acquainted with French at an early age.

Students are exposed to music every day through songs, clapping games, and dancing. A more formal music time is held once a week. Our music teacher engages students’ minds and bodies through a mixture of singing, dancing, acting, and the use of musical instruments.

The Junior Kindergarten P.E. specialist teaches each JK class once a week. We focus on the development of skills like balancing, traveling in different ways, turn-taking and following one-two step directions. Our P.E. teacher often takes advantage of our 40-acre campus by taking the P.E. classes outside.

Dramatic play is an important part of our program; students are given the opportunity to role-play, express emotions and share ideas. So fun! This early exposure builds confidence, empathy, and clear communication skills.

Art is an everyday opportunity in Junior Kindergarten: our teachers focus on engaging students in a variety of open-ended, and often messy, art experiences. Students are empowered to make their own discoveries through experimentation with materials, mediums, and tools. Students develop skills such as fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and creative problem-solving.

Our librarian helps students choose developmentally appropriate reading materials to share with their families at home. In addition, our librarian  provides stories, songs and learning engagements related to the class’s Units of Inquiry.

It’s a fact: Outdoor play is foundational to children’s healthy development. Our weekly Forest Days provide students with high-quality, unstructured play in natural areas around our 40-acre campus. In addition to gaining environmental awareness and a connection to nature, outdoor play promotes students’ cognitive and social development, physical health, mental well-being, improved executive functioning, and MORE!

Students are introduced to the mindfulness of Yoga on a weekly basis. Yoga practice can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. Yoga is also linked to reduced anxiety and stress in children.
