A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A NAVIGATOR
Our preschoolers follow our Kepler Curriculum and lesson plans, that include small group projects, art and science activities, storytelling, letters, numbers, colours, shapes, weather, dates learning, and writing.
Their daily activities include free play, outdoor play, bathroom routine, lunch, snack, Storytime, nap and quiet time. Caregivers will encourage developing friendships, allow children to attempt new things, explore different ways to express their feelings and focus on positive ways of honesty, generosity, patience and caring for others. Children will explore the environment to learn how things work, be introduced to gardening, nature, using technology and more complex materials.
By the end of their Navigators Journey, children will add 3 more badges to their collection:Name Recognition, Scissors handling and Reading.
NAME RECOGNITION
Our goal is to teach children how to recognize their name and grow their vocabulary and thought process.
SCISSORS
Kepler Navigators will create open ended art activities with paint, scissors, glue, paper, loose parts, clay, and more.
READING
Children will be introduced to letters, sentences and questions, using books, stories, songs, music, alphabet cards and sand paper letters, promoting their reading and writing skills.
