FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS:
Shapes, colors, motor skills, following instructions.
We work with children to recognize shapes, colors, directions and structure using a variety of materials from blocks to fabrics. Sorting and matching by like characteristics deepens understanding, while games and dances incorporating concepts like over, under, right and left, help develop motor skills.
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT:
Leters, words, concepts, phonics, sounds, retention.
At Rustin's Educational Center learning is everywhere from shelves and baskets labeled with words and pictures to games of matching. We read a story daily and ask open-ended questions to encourage imput, or focus the children on the letter sounds in their own names. Throughout each month we faciliate individual journal time, helpiing children learn how to communicate complex thoughts, as well as develop basic phonics and spelling skills.
MATH DEVELOPMENT:
Size, shape, alike and different, sorting, counting, numbers.
We use all math concepts every single day and so do the children at Rustin's Educational Center. We might create a People Graph by grouping children by the color of their shirts, or create collections of certain numbers of objects. From recognizing numbers and counting, to helping figure out how many plates and cups are needed at lunchtime, our children learn the basic skills they'll need for a strong foundation in mathematics.
The KidComplished Curriculum
We know that children learn their best when they are actively engaged. We recognize that children are naturally curious. We know that they learn critical science, math, reading, and writing concepts through hands-on sensory-oriented activities. Rustin's Educational Center's unique KidComplished Curriculum gives children the guidance - and the freedom - to construct their own body of knowlege in a manner that inspires personal accomplishment.
Kidengarten Preparedness
Getting ready to move up to Kindergarten is exciting and we want your child to stay excited about learning. So while we increase the focus on math, science, language and social studies, we make sure it's pressented with big doses of fun. Our curriculum helps children develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they'll need to succeed in Kindergarten, school, and life. We prepare our children to meet and exceed the latest Kindergarten Readiness Standards and beyond.
