PARK SLOPE

STARFISH (4-5 YEAR OLD PROGRAM)

HOME  |  STARFISH 

We have adopted the Mother Goose program, which works on developing the whole child.  Your child will be the star of their story; they will have a portfolio that captures their reflection on learning.  We ensure that your child reaches all of their milestones.  Every week we have a theme that allows the entire family to be involved in the learning process.  Making meaningful connections with themes, your child will focus everyday on five key areas:

 

  1. Social and Emotional Development

  2. Phonics & Literacy

  3. Language

  4. Math

  5. Creative Expression & Movement
