"Extremely well rounded program and very personal, with small classes."
Music Fundamentals
Every day begins with fun songs and actions that highlight all the topics we're discovering at preschool. We play instruments, have occasional special musical guests, and dance to the beat. During music exploration, our little champs also learn basic elements of rhythm, tempo, articulation, pitch, note names/positions, melody, and dynamics, inspiring a love of music and preparing them to begin an instrument if they choose.
Sports Skills
Little champs love to move! As they explore a variety of sports and activities, they will be instructed in basic athletic fundamentals of balance, coordination, catching, passing/throwing, lateral movement, kicking, jumping, rolling, reaction, change of speed and direction, accuracy, strength, and proper skills/terms for specific sports.
Sports/activities we will explore: Basketball, soccer, volleyball, T-ball, dance, track & field, football, golf, tennis, fishing, bowling, martial arts, indoor rock climbing, tumbling, archery, yoga, and more, all culminating with our Olympic Field Day!
​
Academic Foundation
Intertwined with art projects, sports, music, play, and even during snack time (always learning!) your little champ will grow a solid intellectual foundation as well. Our areas of focus include: recognizing letter names/sounds/signs, writing practice, rhyme, making connections, asking questions, counting and number recognition 1-20+, shapes, colors, patterns, early sight words, problem solving, comparison, sorting, basic time & money, days of the week and months of the year, seasons, and any other educational topics that naturally present themselves!
Social & Emotional Strength
A champion is kind to others and strong in mind and heart. At Little Champs we introduce and model tools for creating a positive life. We encourage sharing, gratitude, safety, teamwork, recognizing emotions in self and others, healthy responses to thoughts and feelings, healthy hygiene, good manners, perseverance, communication, respect, and many other characteristics of a true champion.
