Our team is committed to helping your child succeed, both during their time at Oak Forest Academy and beyond. Therefore, our programs are designed with the ultimate goal of preparing your child to seamlessly and successfully transition into Kindergarten. For kids approaching this stage, we offer unique programs which blend effective and familiar approaches with more advanced academic and social concepts. These programs provide extra preparation for Kindergarten, which in turns boosts confidence and builds excitement.
The demands placed on kindergarteners by the elementary education system are higher today than ever before. This means they have tremendous opportunities to learn, but it also means they must be well prepared in order to succeed. Our Kindergarten Readiness Program is designed to bridge the gap between Pre-K and Kindergarten, providing early and additional preparation for those preparing to graduate from Oak Forest Academy. Kids in need of additional academic or social preparation can ease into the curriculum, and kids who are ready can get a jump start on Kindergarten early.
In this program, we blend a Pre-K environment with Kindergarten skills, allowing our kids to adapt and become comfortable in a traditional classroom environment. As with our younger programs, kids in this program continue to build their skills in the areas of literacy, math, science, and technology, in a hands-on environment with excellent student-to-teacher ratios.
To maintain the most effective program possible we work closely with local schools to monitor changes so that we can constantly adjust and improve our programs. Furthermore, we provide parents with consistent progress reports and other relevant information to ensure confidence through every step of the process.
We know that when kids are well prepared to face Kindergarten with confidence, they are far more likely to excel academically, build meaningful relationships with their teachers and peers, and enjoy their overall educational experience. Our goal and commitment is to do everything we can to set them on that path.
Our fully accredited private kindergarten program is designed to provide a well-rounded foundation for academic and personal growth. This program strikes a perfect balance between academic instruction and structured activities, ensuring that children continue to build upon the skills introduced in pre-kindergarten while being challenged to explore more advanced concepts.
The core of our curriculum focuses on early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving. Through engaging, hands-on activities, children develop their reading and writing skills, learning to recognize letters, sounds, and words. While the program is more structured than pre-kindergarten, it still allows for ample creativity and exploration. There are set times for lessons, breaks, and group activities, providing a routine that helps children feel secure and understand expectations. However, there is also space for imaginative play, artistic expression, and free exploration, all of which foster creativity and problem-solving skills.
Through engaging, hands-on activities, children develop their reading and writing skills, learning to recognize letters, sounds, and words. They practice writing, phonics, and storytelling, building confidence in their ability to communicate
In math, we introduce foundational concepts such as counting, sorting, basic addition and subtraction, and patterns, all taught through interactive lessons and playful activities that make learning fun and meaningful.
Problem-solving skills are nurtured through both structured lessons and open-ended activities that encourage children to think critically, experiment, and explore solutions. These activities promote curiosity, perseverance, and resilience, essential traits for success in both school and life.
A strong emphasis is also placed on social-emotional development. Children learn to work collaboratively with peers, practice self-regulation, and develop empathy and respect for others.
Our program incorporates structured group activities, cooperative games, and discussions that encourage children to express their feelings and build positive relationships.
Children also work on developing independence by taking responsibility for their belongings, completing tasks on their own, and making choices in their learning experiences.
Our approach prepares children for a smooth transition to elementary school. By the end of the program, children will have developed not only academic skills but also social, emotional, and executive functioning skills that will help them thrive in more advanced educational settings. This balanced, nurturing environment helps children feel confident, independent, and excited about learning as they embark on their next educational journey. Depending upon their age, our students go on to a public or private Kindergarten or first grade classroom.”
