For parents, the transition to kindergarten is a significant milestone. It’s a time filled with excitement, and sometimes, a little uncertainty about whether your child is truly ready. At Happy Feet Learning Center, we understand this journey. Our goal is to make sure every child is not only academically prepared but also confident, social, and ready to thrive in their new environment.
4 Essential Skills Your Preschooler Should Master Before Starting Kindergarten
4 Essential Skills Your Preschooler Should Master Before Starting Kindergarten
1. Social and Emotional Skills
We believe that learning to share, take turns, and interact respectfully with peers and adults is crucial. Our play-based curriculum is designed to help children develop empathy, manage their emotions, and build self-confidence. Through guided activities, we teach them how to handle new situations and build positive relationships with others.
2. Language and Literacy
A strong foundation in language is a key to success. We focus on enriching vocabulary, listening comprehension, and early literacy. Our teachers engage children in daily story time, songs, and conversations to expand their communication skills. This playful approach helps them recognize letters, understand sounds, and develop a genuine love for reading.
3. Problem-Solving and Cognitive Development
We encourage children to explore and think critically about the world around them. Our classrooms are filled with hands-on learning centers where they can sort, count, and experiment. By asking questions and guiding their discoveries, we help them develop foundational math and science skills, laying the groundwork for future academic challenges.
4. Self-Help and Independence
Fostering independence is a vital part of our program. We empower children to handle daily tasks like zipping their own jackets, washing their hands, and managing their belongings. These simple acts build self-reliance and confidence, helping them feel comfortable and capable of navigating their school day with a sense of accomplishment.
