At SJDS we encourage children to be actively involved in the learning process by exploring a wide variety of developmentally appropriate activities and materials in an environment planned for the child. This means a variety of opportunities to learn in a warm, developmentally appropriate environment.
- Toddler Classes We offer a One-Year-Old Class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a Two-Year-Old Class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. In these classes children practice important social skills like trusting others outside their families, gaining independence, and learning to assert themselves in socially acceptable ways. Emphasis is on language skills, sensory exploration and social experiences. Sharing and appreciation of classmates is encouraged while the children are playing.
- Three-Year-Old Classes A typical day includes group time, story time, small motor activities, free-play, and other age-appropriate learning experiences. Thematic units are used in promoting sensory-based learning.
- Four-Year-Old Classes A typical day includes group time, story time, small motor activities, free-play, and other age-appropriate learning experiences. Thematic units are used in promoting sensory-based learning, and an overview of the alphabet is incorporated during the school year.
- Pre-Kindergarten Classes work on preparing children for Kindergarten. Curriculum includes a concentrated review of the alphabet (including sound, recognition, and writing of the letters), calendar and weather review, expansion of verbal skills, and refining of the fine motor skills. Field trips are taken when available. A main goal in our Pre-K classes is to work toward a smooth transition when the children shift from Preschool to Kindergarten.
