About Our
Classes At Kids Kollege Preschool
Butterfly Class (2-2.5 years old)
10 Students (Ratio: 1 teacher to 5 students)
A child’s first care givers are so important in the early childhood years. Children’s attachment to adults at this age sets an important foundation for their ability to bond and trust people in the future. Mindful of this, social development and classroom participation are two important aspects of our early preschool program. Our hope is that your child’s very first school experience will be nurturing, wholesome and engaging – setting a healthy foundation for lifelong learning. After a few months, children quickly thrive in classroom routines – making room for deepening friendships and an introduction to letter recognition, writing, simple math and science.
Bumblebee Class (2.5-3 years old)
10 Students (Ratio: 1 teacher to 5 students)
In this class, students work on pre-literacy skills (letter of the week, phonological awareness, rhyming, tracing), pre-math skills (counting beyond 10, patterns and puzzles, categorizing), emotional articulation and regulation (learning to identify and manage emotions), social skills (communication, sharing, taking turns, and working together as a team). The main goal is to develop a love for learning and a deep curiosity about the world around them and develop confidence in who they are.
Firefly Class (Pre TK: 3-4 years old)
12 Students (Ratio: 1 teacher to 6 students)
This class promotes TK readiness through pre-math & pre-literacy skills such as counting, number & pattern recognition, making comparisons/predictions, sorting & categorizing, 1:1 correspondence, alphabet & print recognition, phonological awareness, expanding vocabulary, and narration skills, learning to ask questions. Children will learn Executive Functioning skills such as maintaining focus, encouraging impulse control, developing working memory, building mental flexibility, assessing risk/reward in decision-making, and abiding by classroom rules. Children will develop social-emotional independence by understanding fairness, initiating turn-taking, building empathy-based bonds, negotiating & compromising with peers, emotional expressivity and competence, cultivating a classroom culture of patience and understanding, respecting each other’s differences and uniqueness.
Dragonfly Class (Pre K/Private TK Alternative: 4-5 years old)
12 Students (Ratio: 1 teacher to 6 students)
Our Dragonfly Class is a higher-quality private alternative to what is currently being offered by the public education sector. Public TK classrooms often have 24-30 children in a classroom with only 1-2 teachers, whereas our Dragonfly Class can offer children a fun and academically rigorous kindergarten readiness curriculum in a less crowded setting. With our private TK alternative, students receive more individualized support that will thoroughly prepare them to thrive in Kindergarten, and beyond! Dragonfly Class curriculum includes building up a strong toolkit of executive functioning skills, as well as gaining a sound grasp of foundational Pre-Math skills (categorizing, subtizing, sequencing, making predictions, number awareness, connecting numerals to quantities, & decomposing numbers into parts of a whole/sum) and Pre-Literacy skills(print/plot/theme awareness, alphabet recognition, phonemic awareness, & site-word recognition)- designed to align with current Common Core standards for the TK level. While access to public TK remains difficult, our Dragonfly Class is a great option that provides students with both a high-supportive and growth-oriented alternative for families that are seeking to give their little one a great start in elementary school!
