Ready, Set, Go! Kinder Prep Program at Tiger Hall

 

What:

~ Ready Set Go! Kinder Prep is a small and intimate mixed ages, half-day or full-day program serving ages 2 through 6 years that is designed to prepare your pre-school aged child for kindergarten. Because of our small and nurturing environment we are able to cater to each child's individual learning needs, providing the perfect bridge from toddler-dom to kindergarten. Circle time lessons, free weekly enrichment classes and play time are incorporated daily. Head teacher is a Princeton University Alumna.

 

Curriculum:

~ Here at Tiger Hall we believe that the most important part of any education is the part where we learn to think critically. Our philosophy is that a child who can think critically can overcome any future academic challenge, whether it be interpreting Shakespeare or decoding calculus! We believe that all children, regardless of the differences in their learning styles, have the ability to comprehend any new concept, especially when these concepts are taught in a way that caters to visual, audio and kinesthetic learners alike. With this in mind our curriculum is designed to not simply teach children random facts about the world around them, but to encourage them to begin to think critically, to reason and to ask questions. For instance, our children at Tiger Hall can not only tell you where Iceland is on a map, they can also tell you that occasionally the sun never sets there... the most important thing, however, is that they understand why this sunset-less phenomenon occurs!

 

 

On a weekly basis our engaging and creative curriculum covers concepts concerning pre-reading skills, math problem solving (pre-addition/pre-subtraction), world geography, cultural studies, handwriting/pre-handwriting skills, world languages, science discovery, social etiquette and more. In addition to instruction time and free play, children enrolled in Tiger Hall's Kinder Prep Program take free weekly classes taught by outside professionals in the areas of art, reading readiness, ballet/tap and music.
