Preparing Your Child for School: Discover Journey’s Kinder+
At Journey Early Learning, we understand the significance of the year before school begins. It’s a crucial time when we aim to support children and families in the best possible way, ensuring a smooth transition into school. Kinder + is meticulously crafted to empower children as they embark on their educational journey. Here’s why choosing Journey could be the perfect fit for your child:
Developing Intellectual Curiosity
At Journey, we foster a love for learning that extends beyond textbooks. Our Kinder + program stimulates children’s intellectual curiosity through hands-on experiences and play-based learning. By nurturing their innate creativity and critical thinking skills, we prepare them not just for school but for a lifetime of learning adventures.
Building Strong Social Skills
Social development is a cornerstone of our approach. Through collaborative play and a supportive community environment, children learn essential skills such as communication, empathy, and teamwork. At Journey, we celebrate diversity and promote a culture of inclusivity where every child feels valued and supported.
Emotional Wellbeing and Resilience
We understand the importance of emotional intelligence in early childhood. Kinder + nurtures emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healthy emotional expression. Through mindfulness practices and close collaboration with families, we help children navigate their feelings with confidence and empathy.
Physical Growth and Wellbeing
Physical activity is integral to holistic development. At Journey, children engage in various physical activities that promote motor skills, health awareness, and a love for outdoor exploration. We encourage a balanced lifestyle from a young age, setting the stage for lifelong habits of health and wellness.
Your Kinder + Journey at Journey Early Learning
Embarking on the Kinder + journey at Journey Early Learning means embracing a holistic approach to your child’s development. Here’s what you can expect:
Enhanced Learning Opportunities
At Journey, our long day care options are tailored to enhance your child’s learning journey. Your child has more time each day to immerse themselves in enriching activities and deepen their learning experiences. This extended time is invaluable for exploring new interests, developing skills, and building lasting friendships—all within a supportive and nurturing environment. Choosing Kinder+ embedded within our long day care setting ensures that your family’s needs are met seamlessly while providing ample opportunities for your child’s educational growth.
An Emergent Curriculum
At Journey, we believe in nurturing children’s natural curiosity. Our emergent curriculum allows us to adapt and evolve based on each child’s unique interests and developmental progress. By building on their prior knowledge and introducing new ideas, we create learning opportunities that challenge and expand their understanding of the world.
Play-Based Learning
Play is central to childhood development, and at Journey, it’s a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. Through play-based learning, children not only explore and interact socially but also lay the foundations for future academic success. This approach fosters creativity, improves social skills, and supports overall health and well-being, setting the stage for a vibrant and fulfilling life.
