Getting Ready for Kindergarten Learning

At Clairmont Advanced Education Center, the Pre-K Social kindergarten readiness class stands as a cornerstone for early childhood development, meticulously designed to nurture the vital social and emotional skills essential for a young child’s growth. This class is more than just a preparatory step for kindergarten; it’s a comprehensive environment where phonemic awareness, phonics, and foundational math skills are seamlessly integrated.

Learning and Fun

Recognizing the critical importance of early childhood education, our kindergarten readiness program focuses on a holistic approach, ensuring that each child not only grasps academic concepts but also develops the essential social and emotional skills necessary for lifelong success. This multifaceted strategy provides a solid base for the transition into formal schooling, fostering a love for learning and a readiness for the educational journey ahead.

Weekly Classes

Pre-K Social at Clairmont Advanced Education Center is a vibrant and engaging weekly session where learning and fun coexist harmoniously. The program is meticulously crafted to enhance a child’s ability in reading, writing, and math while simultaneously nurturing their ability to form friendships and interact socially.

Kindergarten Readiness and Social Skills

Phonemic awareness is cultivated through interactive activities focusing on sounds, blending, and segmentation. Lowercase alphabet mastery is achieved using the Handwriting Heroes program, emphasizing multisensory learning and grouping letters for efficiency. We excel in instilling a robust number sense in children by teaching them to correlate objects with their respective number words, thereby enhancing their counting skills.

A Fun Way to Learn a Variety of Topics

Color recognition and the exciting world of color mixing are introduced, expanding their creative and artistic horizons. Furthermore, we emphasize the development of critical thinking and logical reasoning through diverse activities like puzzle building, scavenger hunts, and innovative reasoning games. This rich tapestry of learning experiences ensures that each child in our Pre-K Social class is well-equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.

Here’s a snapshot of the kindergarten readiness skills we develop in Pre-K Social

Phonemic Awareness Skills
Focusing on the foundational elements of reading, this module emphasizes beginning and ending sounds, rhyming, blending, and segmenting sounds. This skill set is vital for early literacy and helps children decode words more efficiently, setting the stage for successful reading development.
Lowercase Alphabet Mastery
Through the multi-sensory Handwriting Heroes program, children master the lowercase alphabet, learning to draw and construct each letter. This method effectively addresses common challenges like letter reversals by grouping letters based on stroke similarity, enhancing both letter formation skills and phonemic awareness.
Numbers and Counting
We develop a strong number sense in children through 1:1 correspondence exercises, linking each counted object with a number word. This approach lays a solid foundation for mathematical understanding, crucial for future academic success in math.
Color Recognition and Mixing
Our program introduces children to a spectrum of colors, engaging them in the creative process of color mixing. This activity not only enhances color recognition but also encourages artistic expression and exploration.
Creative Thinking and Logical Reasoning
Through stimulating activities like puzzle building, scavenger hunts, and reasoning games, we foster both creative thinking and logical reasoning skills. These exercises are designed to sharpen problem-solving abilities and encourage innovative thinking in young learners.

Later we will play phonemic awareness games that require us to identify the beginning sounds of objects [within the letter group learned i.e. ‘Cannon Pops’])
10:40AM-11:00AM: Skill Drilling Game
(i.e. go on a scavenger hunt finding objects that begin with the “c”, “a” or “g” sound to win tickets and prizes)
11:00AM-11:30AM: Individual Educational 1:1 Time
(During this time students snack and play while students individually meet with their teacher to work on their specific needs such as mastering letter recognition or letter-sound correspondence)
11:30AM-12:00PM: Math Activity
(i.e. Math Bowling – How many bowling pins can each member of your team knock down? Count and write your score next to your name. Winners of each round win tickets and prizes)

   Ms. Liz, Ms. Yolanda, and the rest of the staff truly have an amazing approach and method of teaching that makes my child look forward to going to both his private tutoring and his reading club. I strongly suggest to any parent with child that needs extra assistance in school to look into Clairmont Advanced and with just the evaluation you'll realize how much they truly care.

   My son was years below grade level when he began to work with Clairmont about three years ago. He is now performing at just about grade level in all areas and his self- confidence is soaring . Ms. Liz personally tailors every lesson for his changing needs. She has made such a change in my child's life!

   My son is in kindergarten and has been struggling with reading and remembering his sight words so when I saw someone share a Facebook post about Clairmont's 4 day bootcamp over winter break, I called and they immediately scheduled my son for an assessment before the bootcamp. The staff has been phenomenal, patient, kind, and my son has begged to go back each morning this week since starting the bootcamp. I'm so impressed by how much he's learned already and what he tells me during our car rides home that I plan on signing him up for any future classes they have during school breaks. Their learn-by-playing method is so effective and the ticket reward system where kids can cash them in for small toys is incredibly motivating. I plan on telling his school teacher about it when he returns from the holiday break and recommending Clairmont to every parent I know that has a child struggling in school.
