Young Five’s Class

2024-2025 Registration 

Come check us out! Email [email protected] to set up an appointment.

Open House:
April 16, 11:45 am-12:45 pm (limited to parents and students interested in attending Maple Tree in 2024/2025)

Young Fives parents have the option of a four day or five day program for their child. Children must be five by February 1, 2025. The Young Five’s Explorers class meets Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday mornings from 9:00–11:30 a.m. You may choose to add our Friday morning 9:00–11:30 a.m. class to create a five day week for your child. 

This is a great alternative for children who are not ready for a full day of school. This class is offered for students who are nearly 5 or 5 already and are ready for more academic emphasis. While including the core curriculum of Maple Tree, the Explorers class increases the students’ exposure to math concepts (one to one correspondence, grouping, beginning addition and subtraction), science, language arts (sight words, compound words, individual reading cards, writing, additional Zoo-phonics, role playing, letter formations and sounds, and early reading skills.)  There is an emphasis on kindergarten readiness.

Curriculum Zoo-phonics is one element of our curriculum. Each letter of the alphabet has a character and a movement attached to it. Learning and remembering the letters and sounds becomes easier with this approach. We also incorporate various elements of the Handwriting Without Tears. Our core curriculum is made up of planned units of study including oceans, birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Units are taught not only to increase knowledge, but also to demonstrate God’s power and diversity in creation. We expand our curriculum through the use of various math manipulatives, art projects, show and tell, talking and listening, story time, exercises, music, and finger plays.  We will take at least three field trips throughout the year to enhance our curriculum.
