Kindergarten

4.0 years – 6 years old

(This program is for children older than 4.0 years old and younger than 6 years in June.)

The Hummingbirds’ Collaborative School kindergarten program is an extension of preschool.  Kindergarten is a partnering of new ideas within the world of the young child. The Kindergarten child has an enthusiasm for life, lives strongly in imagination and masters skills through a strong imitation of the teacher and the interaction with peers. Our curriculum mindfully prepares the child for the structures of elementary education.

Social Intelligence is created by the cooperation and collaboration with the other.

• Shared solutions

• Turn Taking

• Cooperative working

• Negotiations

• Moral activity

Brain Intelligence is created through observation, articulation, and healthy movement.

• Support the pathways of the child’s needs – how they learn

• Building Confidence through self-care, self-direction and self-responsibility

• Strengthen the memory capacity through repetition, right speech, and visual cues

• Strengthen the imagination through music and tones of language

• Repetition connects the neurons of the brain

Physical Intelligence is seen by healthy movement and visual concrete creation.

• Activity of expression of the will

• A self-awareness of their body’s capacities

• Self-discipline – what is right or wrong through movement/witnessing other

• Expression of instinctive and impulse behavior

• Self-initiated boundaries of the “self” and the other

Children are nourished through imaginative movements through songs, games, and working in imitation.

• brings forth a strong imagery to the story telling so that child can feel as if they are the particular character, animal or element

• organizes sensory inputs so that the brain produces a useful body response and also useful perceptions, emotions, and thoughts.

• will “mold” the neurons and interconnections to form sensory and motor processes

• creates a strong foundation of sensory integration in movement strengthens the complexes processes for reading, writing, and mathematics in the later years
