Event Details
Emerging Academics is kindergarten for homeschoolers or kindergarten prep for parents of kids who need one more year before entering school. We use play-based and art integrated activities to keep them actively engaged while building literacy (language and number) and social and emotional skills.
Our well-known homeschool tutorial provides an original curriculum that is customized to each group of enrolled students each semester. We first get to know you and your student(s) and then work to find the what and how that works best for this collection of human beings. Our strategies are highly interactive, play-based, art-integrated and often project-based. We craft an experience based on your student without leaving your student to drive instruction on their own. Each 3-hour session weaves a combination of skills across academic subjects (including "specials") into activities. We send home work samples and walk parents through what we did, encouraging you to take pictures, ask questions, and make requests. Rather than organizing based on age, we organize based on minimum skills and then provide open-ended activities that allow each student to engage on the level they are working at.
Minimum Skills:
* Knows names and basic sounds of all letters
* Knows the difference between a number and a letter
* Can count to 10
This class will build on numeracy and pre-literacy skills to support your child's journey toward reading and arithmetic utilizing games and creative activities of all kinds. Problem solving, hands-on experiments and more. Social skills will deepen through highly interactive play sessions.
