The PinecrestSchools Canyon Country Junior
Kindergarten program is designed for young people who are ready for
a full day program;
who demonstrate
maturity and intellectual curiosity; and who exhibit a readiness
and eagerness for a fuller academic program. Our goal is to provide
a nurturing
environment within which the developmental need of each child will
be met. Readiness skills will be strengthened prior to the Kindergarten
experience. We recognize the uniqueness of each child. The pace may
differ from student to student, but all children will be guided to
develop their thinking process to their fullest abilities. Our purpose
is to enable the children to continue their enthusiasm to become
self-motivated students, eager and ready to learn.
Philosophy
Each child's self-esteem is crucial to healthy, intellectual,
and social growth. Successful learning experiences, based on the child's
level of readiness, develop students and help them excel. We believe
this program succeeds with a limited class size of twenty-four students,
and two teachers. With our supportive and nurturing staff, the students
experience a variety of academic and age appropriate challenges within
the presented curriculum.
Curriculum
The curriculum provided for the children
is designed to develop verbal skills, reading, writing, mathematics,
phonics, environment
and science. Children accepted into this program will be exposed to
a well-rounded curriculum including Music, Art, Physical Education,
Computers and Spanish.
