Philosophy of the School

We believe that children are a vital part of the world and that each child's life at Superkids should be full of fun, happiness, and enjoyable interactions with peers and caring adults. We believe that children learn best when they are surrounded by a healthy, stimulating environment and immersed in an atmosphere of fun and friendship. Our excellent facilities and teachers help us to create this environment. We offer a variety of exciting activities that allow children's development to blossom naturally. In these surroundings, children laugh and learn, forming both friendships and self-confidence along the way.

Goals of education

· To facilitate the overall growth and development of our children
· To give our children the skills and confidence they need to be successful in elementary school
· To develop individuality and the love of learning in any situation or environment

Our main goal of education is to have children achieve their fullest intellectual, emotional, and physical potential. Through our rich and interesting program, each child will grow socially, linguistically, mentally, physically, and creatively. We teach the children to accept themselves and be proud of the individual they are. We let each child achieve success on a daily basis, whether it is through mastering a new skill or just trying the best that they can. Our goal is to nurture and teach the children without taking away their individuality and to create a well-balanced child, who is happy both mentally and physically.

A Superkid imagines and creates, predicts and solves, runs and climbs, shares with friends, and cares for others every day. When a child graduates from Superkids, he or she will have the confidence and skills to conquer any given situation in life, outside the doors of preschool.

Curriculum

Superkids offers an outstanding curriculum that helps prepare a child for elementary school within a personalized, private, and nurturing environment. Our program addresses the social, emotional, linguistic, creative, and physical aspects of a child's development. The curriculum:

· Focuses academically on literacy, math and science skills, and social studies
· Promotes creativity and self-directed learning
· Develops life skills like self-confidence, problem solving, and social interaction

Superkids' curriculum is based on a thematic learning approach, where monthly and weekly themes serve as an inspiration for exploration and experimentation within the developmental areas of each child. Such themes as "Amazing Me" and "International Celebrations", involve the children in exploring the world around them and learning both skills and vocabulary associated with the theme. Our curriculum focuses on several areas, which are addressed in a fun and playful way:

· Beginning reading skills and concepts
· Foundation skills for understanding mathematics
· Writing skills
· Introduction to science
· Social Studies
· Dramatic play
· Creative arts
· Physical health and movement
· Social skills enhancement
· Emotional development

Superkids has a variety of groups with children ranging in age from 2 ½ to 6. Placement in groups is determined by a combination of age and ability. The group are as follows:

Young Nursery - 2 ½ to 3 years old
Nursery - 3 to 4 years old
Pre-Kindergarten - 4 to 5 years old
Kindergarten - 5 to 6 years old

Superkids also offers a playgroup for children 1 ½ to 2 ½ years old. Children can come to socialize, play, and build their language and motor skills before entering the nursery.

Each group has at least one native English teacher and an assistant or co-teacher who speaks fluent English. Individual groups have written goals and objectives that serve as the basis for progress reports sent home twice a year.

These reports, along with daily communication, keep parents well informed on their children's development.
Each class sends home a monthly newsletter including the month's themes and schedule, plus any special programs or dates. The newsletters help to keep our families informed about their children's adventures in school and give more insight into the everyday activities that your child is involved with.
