Sunbrook
Academy's Private Pre-K 4 Program is considered one of the most important offered at
our school. This program will weave together the myriad of skills taught to the students
over the last several years as we ready them for either private or public kindergarten. It
is the final step in Sunbrook's challenge to ensure that all graduates are "school
ready" and we take on this challenge with pride and seriousness.
Sunbrook Academy's Pre-K 4 Program is a progressive approach to learning. Our
interactive, thematic and conceptual based curriculum, "FOUNDATIONS"
further integrates the "Alpha Time" phonics series, a time tested
program used in private and public elementary schools nationwide. By combining these two
curricula, we have created a unique balance in the language-reading learning process. The
program encourages the development of readiness skills through storytelling, real language
experiences, literature-based activities, math manipulatives, science and discovery
experiments, free-form art and other hands-on individual and group activities. Community
awareness is fostered through social studies about self, family and community helpers. The
children will discover the world around them on field trips to the post office, library,
grocery store, etc.
Our state of the art computer labs will play an
important role in the program curriculum, along with our weekly foreign language
instruction. Elective enrichment opportunites, including ballet, tap dance and
gymnastics will be offered to Pre-K 4 students who seek additional
challenges in their schedules. Our Certified Program Coordinator, along with our expertly
trained and qualified teachers, plan lessons to incorporate the whole child -
academically, developmentally, mentally, socially and emotionally.
We welcome you and your child to our Pre-K 4 Program and are delighted to share with
you the excitement and joys of your child's day-to-day development. We consider it a
privilege to be a part of that growth and development, and look forward to a wonderful
relationship with you and your child.
