Preschool

Class Overview

The preschool years, ages 2-5, are a special and magical time for children. Although we have an age description attached to preschoolers, at KC’s Academy we believe in focusing on developmental stages rather than chronological age. We recognize that at this stage of development preschoolers are beginning to extend their world, making new friends, and trusting new caregivers. They become even more aware of the world around them and delight in interacting and experimenting with their surroundings. They gain independence and self-control. They express themselves and their new ideas using new words. They learn to take initiative and engage others. Their vivid and creative imaginations are taking flight and they are bursting with excitement at all the possibilities! And so are we! Our preschool-aged students are divided into two groups: Beginners: Junior Preschoolers/Two Year Olds, ages 2 to 3 Intermediate: Senior Preschoolers, ages 3 to 5. Each group has their own homeroom teacher and circle space. However, several times a week we combine groups into one social space to allow the children to interact with each other socially. Many times, activities will bring the two groups together and allow them to learn from each other
