Four-year-olds are inquisitive learners. They love to use their senses to explore and document the world around them. Students in the four-year-old program will get to participate in writing workshops, S.T.R.E.A.M. projects, and small group lessons on math and literacy skills. Students will also participate in self-regulation exercises and practice with their peers in real-life play situations. The fours also have multiple opportunities to work on developing their physical bodies on the playground.
In the four-year-old program, children continue their spiritual journey to deepen their relationship with God. Children will continue formalized instructions as well as participate in service projects and other activities that help them understand our faith is not just learned but lived.
