Through our partnership with Polylino, a multilingual pedagogical tool, we offer a foreign language discovery program for children in our Preschool and Pre-K programs. Throughout the school year, our students are introduced to Spanish, Hindi, and Mandarin in 12-week learning blocks. This unique program allows children to develop an ear for each language while making connections through familiar children’s stories. Polylino also serves as a tremendous resource for students that join our school with little or no English-speaking skills. Because we are able to access resources in over 60 different languages, students from all over can find comfort in their native language while transitioning to English.
Extra-Curricular Programs
We know that families are busy outside of school, so that’s why we offer a variety of on-site extracurricular activities during the school day! Through our offerings, your child will be immersed in foreign language discovery, music education, fitness and nutrition education, soccer, and gymnastics!
Foreign Language Discovery Program
ColorSoundation
Kids ‘R’ Kids and ColorSoundation have partnered to create an exclusive music curriculum that is designed to work with the Kids ‘R’ Kids weekly curriculum themes. The ColorSoundation approach is built on the core beliefs that all children have the ability to hear, understand, play, and create music. ColorSoundation uses a structured and systematic method that incorporates exposure to a broad range of music genres, as well as an emphasis on listening, singing, and exploring a variety of instruments by utilizing technology and a fun and engaging character story. Students will reach a greater understanding of music by first focusing on developing the “ear” along with a “singing voice”, then concentrating on the fundamentals of music notation and rhythm. Preschool and Pre-K students will meet once a week for music curriculum lessons.
Stretch-n-Grow
Stretch-n-Grow is a comprehensive fitness and nutrition program that teaches children the fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle! With weekly emphasis on exercise and good food choices, the extensive curriculum covers virtually every wellness issue. Self-esteem, safety, hygiene, and environmental issues are just a few examples of our discussion topics.
Social-Emotional Benefits: Children engaging in Stretch-n-Grow are able to explore their physical world and develop peer interactions while improving their sense of self-image and body awareness.
Language Benefits: Children use language during Stretch-n-Grow to communicate with peers on direction and actions. Stretch-n-Grow exercises help strengthen trunk muscles, which enhance good posture and head control. As these muscles are strengthened, a child’s speech production is enhanced.
Motor Benefits: Stretch-n-Grow teaches lessons that enhance both fine and gross motor development. The correlation between fine and gross motor skills enables children to have a better understanding of their motor development and practice both skills during physical activity.
