A quality developmental early childhood program is based on an integrated curriculum involving all areas of the students growth including physical cognitive social emotional and aesthetic. Opportunities are provided for the student to learn in a positive and nurturing environment; talking and listening with peers and adults manipulating a wide variety of materials and participating in meaningful activities and experiences. The importance of play as well as more structured activities is recognized as the major way in which young children learn.
A developmental model also recognizes that the young students family is the major source for learning. A supportive partnership between home and school is emphasized as a necessary element is promoting the students total development.
Some students due to age and maturity are not ready for entrance into Kindergarten or first grade after a Pre-Kindergarten experience. Another year of Pre-Kindergarten is often recommended for these children. Assessment of each students readiness for learning skills is a continual process at The Jenkins School. We feel a student should be both ready and willing to learn and should not be pushed into formal academics before readiness is indicated.
