Nido (12-24 months)
As your child begins to walk, run, and jump, our educators observe and analyze their interactions with the environment, materials, and each other. Our teachers use these observations to recognize your child’s interests and create projections based on your child’s curiosity and their teachers’ intentions. With many toddlers possessing at least 50 words by this age, educators observe your child develop their expressive language skills and witness an increase in their ability to remember events. Empathy, pretend play, and social roles are explored as teachers support your children as they navigate their first relationships and begin to create their own identity.
Three's
As your child turns three their verbal language becomes a powerful tool they use to express themselves. As their identity and independence develops they begin to question everything around them and are constantly asking, “why?” As they develop a better sense of time, children of the two’s separate from parents with greater ease. Since they begin to better understand a daily flow and others’ routines, they are more comfortable accepting transitions and soothe themselves with their ability to make predictions about what is coming next.
Enrichment Programs
Corporal Movement
In movement class, we observe and recognize patterns of movement. We create experiences where the body represents the instrument of the action. Space represents where the body is moving. Effort is the quality with which the movement is executed. Relationships and connections occur as the body moves—with objects, people, and the environment. Our experiences include explorations with their silhouettes using light and visual projections, story-telling using nonverbal communication and an exploration of the elements (earth, water, wind, and fire) and how they relate to our movement.
Atelier
The word Atelier means art studio or workshop in French. It is a welcoming and inspiring place where a wide variety of natural and man made materials are visually available to explore. Here, children of all ages come individually or in small groups to encounter experiences with different media that will progressively support all their languages of expression. The early exploration of the visual arts through materials such as clay, paper, fabric, wire, light, beads, shells, leaves and wood, among others, offer children endless possibilities.
Music
Our weekly music sessions, included in our tuition, expose children to fundamentals of rhythm, musicality, and self-expression.
Spanish Exposure
Incorporating a second language into their daily routines, children are able to benefit from increased verbal communication, reasoning and even mathematical skills! In addition to learning basic conversational salutations and environmental vocabulary, children are developing cultural awareness and understanding of differences.
Physical Education
Summer Camp
While summer time is a chance for children to relax, KLA Schools strives to maintain our standard of excellence through meaningful adventures and inspiring surroundings. Each year our programs change to represent the interests of our children. Experiences include weekly Splash Days, cooking classes, continued use of the Atelier as well as a variety of field trips within our communities.
