Our reunion with readiness eagerly awaits. Let’s be early. Get Ready for Readiness. We are ready for things we have missed and wish for those experiences to return. We are ready for the excitement about a new event, worry-free family fun outings, enthusiasm for discovery of our vibrant city and its thriving culture, and unbridled curiosity at museums, as well as dance, karate, and art studios.
WHAT WE WANT IS A RETURN TO BEING READY
Ready for readiness. Ready to read recreationally, ready and excited to hope — to know what readied readers our five-year-old can be. A Return to Ready, where the world of our children is made smarter by this world tragedy, the pandemic.
WE ARE READY
We at Self Development Preschool (SDP) and Self Development Academies (SDA) are readying readers starting as early as four years old. They are becoming proficient in math facts as well. We watch our children through a rectangular window in our preschool building, further obscured by a door that, through our tears, reads Kindergarten.
OUR NAME “SELF DEVELOPMENT”
Our name focuses on the self, a developing self. Thriving adults creating breakthrough cures, artist genres, cinematic pivot points, and mathematic wunderkind requires complex interactions and nurturing to develop their selves through personalized attention and high expectations. Our veteran teachers intuitively know the unique genius of every kindergartener who walks through our door.
DEVELOPING GENIUSES
Five-year-old children are impassioned by the fantastic. Which five-year-old is not? Our program seamlessly heightens the passion for fantasy by teaching them to read early. How do we consistently teach children to read in kindergarten so quickly? By infusing literacy and high-level skills at foundational levels.
Our kindergarten teachers and curriculum direct our kindergarten students and their enormous energies to fully immerse themselves, focusing on phonemic awareness, reading fluency, reading comprehension, penmanship, and grammar. The experience is indulgent. When they enter first grade, they can read stories fluently with dynamic intonation, telling of the passion they experienced inside a story.
READIED READERS REIGNING AT HIGHEST ECHELON REPEATEDLY
Now in its 22nd year, SDA has consistently been ranked in the top one percent of elementary and junior high schools in the state and the nation. Who has earned these accolades? Our students.
But how do we get them there? By helping them develop their sense of selves through an advanced, enriched inquiry-based curriculum of wide-ranging courses, teaching everything from intonation and character reading in kindergarten to high school geometry in middle school.
At a pace of one child at a time, SDA hyper focuses on the strengths and points of progress that is right now readying the nation for the next talking watches. SDA’s alums are majoring in math and studying sciences, creating new forms of art, or completely new fields of wonder, enjoyment, and talent.
MAKING DREAMS REAL
No one slowly saunters toward their dreams. They run like a ray of light toward it. That is why SDA offers an accelerated curriculum, teaching every student a grade level higher than the state.
Our job is to make real our own dreams as well as the impossible utopias of our five-year-olds. Remember when talking watches seemed like flying cars? Pie in the sky dreaming? Well, what time is it? Look at your Apple or smart watch if you have one. It takes education of real excellence to make talking watches, the stuff of dreams and absurdity, real.
We ready kindergartners so they ready a nation for our dreams to come true. Besides our accelerated reading program, our math curriculum similarly takes the abstract standards and repackages them as fun activities. Number sense, addition and subtraction, fractions, patterns, and the basics of time and money are components of the mathematics curriculum and presented in ways that create fascination and drive to want to know.
Mathematical reasoning, logic puzzles, and the playful use of numbers as toys make fantasy reality. SDA’s job is to ensure students never lose their creativity but dream big and make its reality bigger.
