  Your child develops readiness for reading through vocabulary-building activities and exercises designed to stimulate visual and auditory discrimination. Discussions and storytelling invite him or her to explore the seasons, senses, community workers, national heroes, and family, as well as growth and change. Your student also learns to associate ideas, build logical sequences, and strengthen comprehension and memory skills.

  Math activities prepare your child to enter Kindergarten able to recognize and write the numbers 1 through 10. He or she will also gain a basic math vocabulary and is introduced to simple measurements, and the concept of patterns.

  Overall, you and your child will enjoy a year of guided, fun developmental activities as you work together to awaken a love of learning.
