Kindergarten Readiness: Preparing Your Child for School Success
During the day children will engage in small group activities to enable them to develop specific skills. Literacy is taught through a variety of carefully chosen games, songs, and activities that provide children with an active and fun learning experience. All of our educational centers are carefully planned to provide children with an exciting hands-on learning experience that touches on activities in all areas of learning including math, science, literacy, technology, and the arts.
The Program is an interactive and fun program with carefully planned activities and educational equipment to aid in the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of young children. Through music and movement, children are guided through daily routines and transitions.
Children will be engaged in educational games and activities. Children will learn the social and cognitive skills necessary for their success in future preschool and kindergarten programs. Learning can be fun and at MCEL we have mastered how to teach children effectively through music and play!
