Signature practices

Our World at Skole curriculum includes preschool Signature Practices that offer hands-on approaches to encourage the skills your child will need in kindergarten and beyond:

Kindergarten focuses on achieving early learning goals that encompass cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. The emphasis is on preparing children for formal schooling.
Play remains a central component of the kindergarten experience. Play-based learning activities are designed to foster creativity, problem-solving, and social skills.
Basic Academic Skills: While formal academic instruction is usually light, kindergartners are introduced to foundational concepts in literacy and numeracy. This may include letter recognition, basic phonics, counting, and early math skills.
Assessment: Informal assessments are often used to gauge a child's development. These may include teacher observations, developmental checklists, and portfolio assessments. Formal testing is generally limited at this stage.
