Building Strong foundations

Our Exploration Zone is designed to be a bridge for transition of our two year old's to the Discovery Pre-K class.  They have unique characteristics, needs and developmental milestones. They are transitioning from parallel play to interactive play, and their language capacity is blossoming. The curriculum is designed to meet these needs and prepare them for early Pre-K.   

Our Exploration Zone Learning Domains

Literacy Development

Our EZ children will be set in a language rich environment essential for developing both receptive and expressive language skills.  The alphabet will be introduced and reinforced weekly through activities, photo cards, and use of sign language. This is accompanied by vocabulary development and phonological awareness through engaging read-alouds.  Writing and fine motor skills are also developed and practiced. 

Foundational Math

Children will be offered activities that support logical reasoning and problem solving to support development of beginning mathematical skills. Each week, EZ children will have a range of activities to provide plenty of opportunities to identify patterns, order, and numeration. 

Social Bridge

Through interactive play, sharing and caring they are taught to show genuine affection and concern for their friends.
