The children in the cricket class are three to three and a half. The curriculum is play based, but there is a lot of learning going on. The activities provided are all developmentally appropriate for the children, as well as unit based. Each unit follows a specific theme. These themes are used to emphasize letters, numbers, shapes, colors, sorting, classifying, motor skills and social skills.
We want to provide the children with the opportunity to learn to love school, to feel safe and secure and to just be happy while they are here.
