Is preschool a necessary step for success in kindergarten? With every question, comes the same answer, “Yes.”
The logical and best decision parents can make is to enroll their child in Self Development Preschool.
Self Development Preschool takes pride in setting high standards for students beginning their educational journey. As teachers, we believe the dedication to becoming lifelong learners starts early. I suggest the preschool, not only as a teacher, but also as a parent whose child attended the preschool, and transitioned well and with success into the kindergarten program.
Self Development Charter School (SDCS) offers a unique and advanced kindergarten program. This program allows children to begin their educational learning experience in a caring and an intellectually stimulated environment. The classroom introduces kindergarten and first-grade curriculum goals, and encourages concept mastery and academic confidence.
The kindergarten program prepares children to learn key subject matter, which yields knowledge for a classroom environment transition for first grade. The school’s success centers on teaching children the advanced curriculum in a structured and methodical approach.
The classroom concentrates on mastery in math, reading and writing. Teachers teach listening and communication skills, higher level thinking, and provide a nurturing classroom for social growth. “As a lead teacher, I believe there is one goal at the beginning of each day,” said Amber Wiley, preschool lead teacher. “Fill our students with knowledge and compassion,” she said. “Every day is an opportunity to enrich the lives of every student attending. We want to instill a love for learning.”
Cinda Foley, also a lead teacher, shares the same belief. “I take pride in setting high standards for students beginning their educational journey,” she said. “I know the dedication to becoming lifelong learners starts early.”
As a certified kindergarten teacher and state-endorsed reading teacher, I know the importance of early education intervention to promote a foundation for academic success. The school uses a multi-sensory phonics instruction, focusing on visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic techniques, which reach each child’s learning style. They learn phonemic awareness, red words (sight words), spelling, writing and reading within each lesson.
By the end of the year, children are reading at or above first-grade level, writing grammatically complete sentences, as well as authoring and editing their own book. Mathematical components include number concept and introduction to addition and subtraction, with daily math facts, fact families, and word problems.
The dedication and sincere devotion of the teachers to instill these essential concepts is amazing. Each classroom has two certified and professional teachers whose goals are to set up these kindergartners for success. As lead teacher, I see the commitment to student’s education every day, and share my positive comments.
I welcome all parents to experience this exceptional learning environment for your child. I am proud to recommend SDCS as the path to your child’s academic success. Parents need to be a part of this exceptional learning adventure for their child.
SDCS delivers a well-rounded educational experience for your child. The school offers children the opportunity to develop a love for learning and a daily challenge to think at a higher level.
