Ages: 22 months-3.3 years, gradual separation.
The Kidville University (KVU) program guides toddlers through social
skills within a playful setting as they transition to school. The class
offers a curriculum that stimulates their natural curiosity as they
explore new ideas. Play centers such as blocks, dramatic play, a book
corner, sensory and art, and small and big-muscle play encourage young
children to touch, try, and think creatively.
Activities in this stimulating class include: group welcome, circle
songs and music, storytelling, large and small group activities, art and
sensory play, as well as science and math exploration. Each class
includes 30 minutes of gym time. Appropriate transitions between
activities allow your child to recognize and become familiar with the
structure of the day, and to look forward to the next activity.
Focusing on the relationships between physical, social/emotional,
language, cognitive, and artistic development, the KVU philosophy and
approach teaches children appropriate social skills needed for school
and life. A small teacher-child ratio ensures individualized attention
and a caring lap for each child as he or she makes the first transitions
to separation* and builds trusting relationships with his or her
teachers.
Our teachers create a keepsake photobook for the entire class so they
can remember their experiences with friends through pictures of their
days at play in KVU!
