WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM KID'S ALIVE
Kids Alive strives to nurture a love for learning fostered by growth through play.
Our 3 year old preschool primarily focuses on social interaction with a large amount of fun, movement, and play. Our goal is that your child will recognize his or her printed first name, know the months of the year and days of the week, be able to recognize and identify shapes, colors and some letters. In addition, we will be introducing writing, cutting, and other reading readiness skills.
Our 4 year old PreKindergarten class is still a social preschool with a shift toward academics. The skills needed to thrive in Kindergarten are artfully woven into your child’s day through hands on activities, song and play. Our goal for these students is they will be able to write their own name, identify the letters of the alphabet (upper and lower case), cut with scissors, count to a hundred, as well as progress with their large and small motor skills.
Our newest class is the four day PreKindergarten class geared for older 4 year olds and 5 year olds. This class has the same expectations as our 4 year old PreKindergarten class, with some variations to keep the class fresh and challenging, as well as age appropriate for these older students. This class will offer some additional opportunities to explore through cooking, science experiments, library check out, and music. We ask that these children be 5 by December 1st or be prescreened by the director.
The overall goal of Kids Alive is to help your child’s first ‘school’ experience be filled with fun, song, dance, movement, discovery and wonder surrounded by the comfort that they are loved.

WHOLE CHILD APPROACH TO EDUCATION
A note from Rene’ Maule
The teachers at Kids Alive believe in and use a whole child approach to education which emphasizes physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual developmental stages. All stages are considered equally important. We believe it is important to help the children learn new things by allowing them to actively participate in a variety of activities.
