Học thuật lấy sinh viên làm trung tâm

PreKindergarten (PreK) lays the foundation for success in school and life. Active learning stations, free play, outdoor exploration, and structured lessons help students develop social-emotional and academic skills, while building upon the child’s natural curiosity to develop a love of learning at an early age.

PreK is offered five full days per week and parents can choose a three-day (M, T, Th), four-day (M-Th) or five-day program. Must be three and a half years old and potty trained by September 1 to be eligible for admission.

THE LM DIFFERENCE
Our PreK program balances developmentally appropriate academics, learning through play, and a faith formation emphasis. Students in PreK are guided to consider how they can love and care for each other and live peacefully. Bible lessons from the Encounter curriculum focus on the life and ministry of Jesus and relate to children’s families and faith communities.

FOREST SCHOOL FRIDAYS
This program allows PreK students to take their learning outdoors to explore nature, build knowledge of and appreciation for God’s creation, and engage in child-led play. Forest School is a concept encouraging routine, child-led outdoor learning experiences to help build resilience, improve social skills and mental health, and connect to nature.

BILINGUAL PREK LESSONS
PreK students will engage with bilingual play through the use of “Hola Amigo” resources, featuring bilingual dramatic play, centers activities, video and song, and age-appropriate, high interest fiction and nonfiction readings.

ĐIỀU TRA VÀ CHƠI THỰC HÀNH
Chương trình PreK của chúng tôi sử dụng Chương trình giảng dạy sáng tạo, được thiết kế để thúc đẩy sự sáng tạo, khám phá và tư duy phê phán thông qua các cuộc điều tra dựa trên dự án thực hành. Học sinh dành phần lớn thời gian trong ngày học thông qua chơi trong lớp học và trên sân chơi, phát triển các kỹ năng xã hội quan trọng và sự độc lập, khám phá và xây dựng các mối quan hệ.
