Early Childhood

4-Year Old Enrichment Activities

ART

Process not product is the basis for the art program. Children love drawing, painting, and creating, and daily activities are used in the classroom to help children develop fine muscle control, visual discrimination, math concepts, growth in use of language, self-confidence, and creative expression.  Art is integrated throughout all areas of the curriculum. 

MUSIC

Music is used to enhance all areas of the curriculum.  As children sing and engage in rhythm activities, they grow in the use of language, develop math concepts,  learn to follow directions and develop an appreciation for different types of music.  The children receive music through experiences in the classroom chapel and music performances.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The four-year-old students engage in movement activities that emphasize gross motor development.  Time is allowed for the children to explore, exercise and refine their large muscle skills in the classroom, on the playground, and under the direction of a physical education specialist from Hot Springs Gymnastics providing developmentally appropriate activities.  In addition, children engage in activities across the curriculum that support and enhance fine motor development.

SPANISH

Students in the four-year-old program  focus on the spoken language of Spanish presented by a experienced specialist.  Children study vocabulary that is drawn from their immediate environment, including greetings, colors, numbers, family members, body parts, weather, and community helpers.   

COMPUTER LAB

Students have access to computers in each classroom.  Each class is scheduled for the computer lab which has the  newest computers and software that is age appropriate for the students. Access to the internet will be filtered for their protection and monitored at all times.

LIBRARY

An up to date library is maintained by a certified librarian. Children have access to the library in the mornings or at regularly scheduled times.
