4 Year Old Program

The following is provided when implementing the four-year-old program for your Kindergarten child:

  • Encouragement for your child to carry out ideas and make choices in his/her active learning. A designed program provides a wide range of activities to match and challenge the individual child’s abilities, interests and levels of learning.
  • Knowledge of the child’s development with recognition of individual differences.
  • Encouragement for children to be actively involved in learning by a variety of experiences in the context of their life in God’s world, in the family situation and adjustment to school life.
  • Development of community skills, caring, respect and sensitivity for:
    - other children (sharing, taking turns.)
    - for adults (listening while others speak.)
    - for equipment (packing up after play, looking after the equipment.) and
    - good toileting/hygiene skills.
  • The program is based on an acceptance of each child, AS A WHOLE CHILD i.e. physically, socially, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually.
  • Children are supported at their level of development but also have the opportunity to solve problems and to be independent.
