This time of year, parents begin the search to find a distinctive school for their kindergartners.
This important decision sets their academic future. I welcome parents to learn about Self Development Charter School. The school 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 Self Development kindergarten program prepares children to learn key subject matter, which yields knowledge for a classroom environment transition to first grade. The school’s success focuses on teaching children the advanced curriculum in a structured and methodical approach. The classroom concentrates on mastery of math, reading and writing. Teachers teach listening and communication skills, as well as higher level thinking, and provide a nurturing classroom for social growth.
As a certified 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), as well as 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, and authoring and editing their own books. Mathematical components include number concepts and introduction to addition and subtraction, with daily math facts, fact families and word problems.
Parents often inquire how best to prepare their children for kindergarten. Consider starting your child at Self Development Preschool as a first step. Kindergarten preparation develops success. The preschool is adjacent to the charter school, and offers before- and after-care. The preschool offers an advanced preschool program, allowing children to begin their educational learning experience in an intellectually stimulating environment. Children who attend the preschool master basic concepts, with a precise curriculum taught daily.
The staff at Self Development Preschool simulates the structure and schedule of a kindergarten classroom. The children are engaged in table work, which includes sight words, phonics, spelling, writing, reading and math instruction. The preschool teachers follow the advanced curriculum principles taught in every level of the charter school.
As the programs advances, the children start to read on their own, and build confidence for reading. Mathematical components, including number concepts and introduction to addition and subtraction, are achieved.
The children at Self Development Preschool test higher on phonemic awareness, reading, basic math, as well as exceptional letter formation and penmanship. The result is children are prepared for success to enter any kindergarten program. The school stimulates academic learning in an enriched environment. The goal is retention of concepts using prior knowledge.
In both programs, the level of dedication and devotion displayed by the teachers to instill these essential concepts is amazing. The kindergarten classroom has two certified and professional teachers whose goals are to set these kindergartners up for success. As lead teacher, I see the commitment to the education of students every day, and share my positive comments.
