K2

The oldest students in our schools make up the K2 groups, and represent the final preparatory development for transition into the early elementary schools. The students have, by this point within Mother Goose®, been fully integrated into the Jolly Phonics learning program, and are becoming adept at reading and writing on their own.

The dynamic tripod posture, which is the K2 age appropriate pencil grip, helps build the pencil control that allows for free writing skills. This independence helps them to build the self-confidence that becomes the focus of K2 development.

The children also begin to more completely understand their role within the world around them, as they participate in awareness lessons involving themes such as their influence on the environment.

We at Mother Goose® use Mathematics Their Way by Mary Baretta-Lorton, which is the most popular activity-centered math curriculum for early childhood education in use today. This curriculum is taught using pre-school lessons including interactive activities, learning games, and positive reinforcement of these ideas.

The K2 experience is customized to meet each childs individual needs: socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. Our daily programs incorporate emergent curriculums which stimulate each childs unique interests, curiosity, sense of discovery and the empowerment of one’s own ideas and feelings!
