The Pre-Primary Classroom 3 - 5 year old
Each pre-school class consists of a mixed age group. This grouping enables children to learn from and help each other without the pressure of competition. Practical life activities such as buttoning, pouring, and washing enable the young child to acquire a wide range of skills necessary in building the child's self-confidence and self-image as a successful, capable person. The basic readiness skills and concepts necessary for reading, writing, and math are developed in a broadly based program which includes science, outdoor education, movement, social studies and geography.

The range of activities in each classroom can satisfy both the youngest child's interest in concrete manipulative materials and the older child's increasing understanding of abstract concepts. The pre primary program is based on a three year cycle. Parents are strongly encouraged to have their child remain through the entire three year cycle in order to maximize the benefits of this highly sensitive time.
