Deciding the perfect age to introduce your child to the world of formal education is a pivotal moment for any parent. The early years of a child’s life are crucial for development, and the right Sparks preschool can set the tone for their academic journey. At Little Bear Preschools, nestled in the heart of Reno and Sparks, we specialize in guiding young minds towards a future filled with curiosity and learning.
The Toddler Program at Age 2
At the tender age of two, children are sponges, absorbing every experience and interaction. Little Bear’s Toddler Program leverages this natural inclination, immersing toddlers in a consistent learning schedule that fosters early social skills, promotes self-help capabilities, and begins the journey of foundational literacy development. It’s a program that gently introduces toddlers to the joys of learning in a structured yet nurturing environment.
Preschool Readiness in the Reno Preschool Program at Age 3
As toddlers grow into curious preschoolers, Little Bear’s Sparks Preschool Program awaits to expand their horizons. At three years old, children are introduced to the manuscript alphabet, laying the groundwork for strong literacy skills. Their days are filled with explorations in math and science, and their imaginations are kindled through dramatic play. Here, social skills are not just taught; they are intricately woven into the fabric of everyday learning.
Kindergarten Readiness for Ages 4-5
The leap from preschool to kindergarten is monumental. Little Bear’s Kindergarten Readiness program ensures that children ages 4 to 5 are not just ready but eager to take that leap. With a curriculum aligned with Pre-K Learning Standards, children engage deeply with language arts, social studies, and creative arts. As they approach the Preschool Graduation milestone, they are confident, prepared, and equipped for the next step in their educational journey.
