Kinder-Prep Program Development Areas
This milestone year finalizes their preparation for the next step into elementary education. Our Kinder-Prep program blends strong kindergarten readiness with rich Spanish immersion – helping children leave Rayito de Sol prepared academically, socially, and linguistically.
Language
Development
Our children will be able to talk in longer sentences, take turns talking with peers and adults, and describe how they’re feeling or what they’re thinking. We design activities specifically with these milestones in mind.
Cognitive
Development
At our school, we incorporate a wide range of STEAM-based activities into our curriculum to stimulate their thinking, encourage problem-solving skills, and foster an exploration of different approaches to tasks.
Fine and Gross Motor Development
We provide age-appropriate activities such as writing, working with manipulatives like threading beads, and engaging in coloring activities. Additionally, we prioritize dedicated free play and outdoor time to foster the development of gross motor skills.
Play and Social Development
We encourage free play for children to interact with their peers, and learn to regulate their emotions. Plus, having exposure to other cultures helps them become more empathetic children.
