ABOUT THE ALPHABET EXPRESS 4K PROGRAM
Dear Parents,
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to teach and work with your child! The Alphabet Express 4K Program is designed to serve as an extension of the family, providing educational services, nurturing and support towards the development of the whole child. The Program is offered September through May and is held on Monday through Thursday of each week. The morning class meets from 8:00am-11:00am while the afternoon class meets from 12:00pm-3:00pm.
In order to qualify for the Program, children must be four years old by September 1st. At Alphabet Express, each child is special and is encouraged to grow physically, intellectually, creatively, emotionally and socially. Our goals are to instill within the child a sense of their own self-worth, compassion for others, a love of learning, and readiness for the experiences ahead.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rieckmann
& Mrs. Fisher
WE BELIEVE...
That each child has a unique rate of development, has a different background experience and ability and will learn best through direct encounters.
Our program is developmentally appropriate, enriching and enhancing the social, emotional, intellectual and physical aspects of each child including inclusion of children with special needs.
Our program utilizes an emerging curriculum designed to meet the needs of the children it presently serves by using thematic units with developmentally appropriate activities.
Our program reflects play as the vital way in which children learn through socialization, imagination and creativity.
Our teachers serve as role models, guides and facilitators in supporting the natural development of each child. We work cooperatively with families in order to encourage communication and involvement.
The environment at Alphabet Express will include child-centered learning activities, which are hands-on, age appropriate, creative, and engaging thus promoting creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
