Give your child a joyful, confidence-building head start with a Kindergarten Readiness class, where learning feels like play and every child is supported at their own pace. This class is for children entering Kindergarten as a preparation course OR can also be used as extra support for current or previous kindergarteners. Through engaging, hands-on activities, we bring early academics to life by exploring letter recognition (including the letters in their own names), number recognition, number sense, patterns, and sequencing. Storytelling, retelling, and early literacy skills are woven into each session in a way that sparks imagination and builds a true love for learning. Little learners strengthen fine motor skills through handwriting and scissor practice, all while building confidence, independence, and important social skills. Children learn to work alongside peers, take turns, and feel comfortable in a group setting. Let’s get kinder ready and feel confident doing so! Ages 4 & 5. Registration is required. *When registering, please use your child's name* Preference will be given to Rutherford residents.

Our weekly preschool prep program is a semester-based immersion class open to 2- to 4-year-old children available in French and Spanish. Play-based and communication-based, our program is also inspired by proven, innovative methods, in part Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Each class has a duration of 2.5 hours. Classes are taught by trained early childhood Spanish teachers who will teach basic skills through combined play and structured learning. During the early stages of development, children are able to learn multiple languages at once, acquiring the perfect accent in a foreign language, and a native-like language level. Our expert instructors will hence provide an array of bilingual activities to stimulate learning through exploration, discovery, creation, and play, to prepare your children for New York's top preschools and kindergartens. The curriculum and activities are designed to teach children not only basic language but also motor skills. They also introduce children to routines and schedules, providing a safe place for them to grow and learn, with enough time to play and rest. Classes are conducted in a gradual immersion environment that allows children to comprehend and speak the target language, unlike any other program. Join us and enable your child the most effective, multi-faceted, creative, and fun preschool prep.
