Kindergarten

Kindergarten lays the foundation for a successful school career. The primary purpose of our full day program is to develop self-esteem by promoting physical, intellectual, emotional and social development in your child. 

Your child will be involved in a rewarding Language Program, (McGraw Hill Beginning to Read, Write and Listen), which will strengthen these skills. Individual letter books combine a phonics and whole language approach. Worksheets are designed to supplement activities in the letter books. Letter practice sheets give additional guided practice in basic letter formation.

A combination of Kindergarten Mathematics by Scott Foresman and Everyday Mathematics from the University of Chicago is used. They provide "hands-on" experiences that have proven very effective.. Children learn through the use of familiar materials and manipulatives to explore patterning, sorting, counting, telling time, graphing and problem solving. Mathematics is more meaningful when it is related to real-life problems and situations. Children's knowledge of mathematics should grow from their everyday experiences.

Our Science Program consists of activities in different units including plants, animals, our bodies, food & nutrition, senses, environment, weather, magnets, health, and color & light. Your children are directly involved in simple experiments.

Computers are an integral part or our Kindergarten program. The children are introduced to basics of computer hardware and the concepts needed for routine use. Your child is given the opportunity to use computer software programs to reinforce language and math skills. 

Experiences in our Kindergarten Program aid in the development of physical and motor functions. Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observation.

Your child's early exposure to new Languages and cultures enhances learning skills and promotes a better appreciation of America's own multicultural society. New Jersey has changed the core curriculum to introduce world languages at earlier grade levels. We have created our new world language program in Spanish to give your children the necessary background.

Our enriched Curriculum addresses learning in all developmental areas. The foundations of the early years of life are of crucial importance to intellectual development and the desire to learn. Our teachers at Children's Choice present basic concepts in an exciting way that is stimulating, fun, interesting, and involving.

Graduation exercises are held each June. Parents, families, and friends are welcome to attend this very memorable ceremony.
