Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support necessary for them to thrive. Children develop rapidly during their early years, and a child's experiences between birth and age five have a significant impact on their future opportunities. Maple Bear sets high standards to ensure children are ready for elementary school. We provide children with a wide range of knowledge and skills that create the ideal foundation for effective progress in school and in life.
By the end of kindergarten, children will communicate effectively in English through listening and speaking. They will have a solid understanding of alphabetic symbols and be able to read basic English texts. They will use phonics strategies to tackle new words and employ appropriate writing techniques for beginners. Finally, they will be able to engage with and respond to various media.
Children will demonstrate curiosity about the natural world, show knowledge of the characteristics of common materials, identify cycles in nature using observational techniques, and collaborate with others to utilize computers in all aspects of their studies.
Children will learn to share, respect others, listen actively, and understand that people have different talents and roles in our society.
Children will understand color, shape, and the use of media to express ideas. They will be able to express themselves through music, art, theater, and dance.
Children will develop physical skills such as balance and flexibility, as well as an understanding of sharing, coordination, and cooperation.
Children will solve problems and become familiar with models of their environment, number concepts, comparisons, sets, basic operations (such as addition and subtraction), 2D and 3D objects, geometry, measurements, and probabilities.
