Each child is different. Every kid reaches their learning curve at a different pace. We do not push or force any child. Instead, we work closely with each kid and guide them as we see them ready to move forward. Our goal is to build the love for reading.

Reading Readiness not only has the academic approach to learning, we also follow Reggio Emilia’s philosophy to learning. We take a multi-faceted approach to learning, by presenting ideas through a variety of methods including art, reading, imaginative play and by setting projects which allow children to explore and learn with a focused goal.

We take a letter a day and work on it. We begin with Letter A and end at Letter Z. Once, we have completed all the letters, we take the test. If the child is ready to be moved up, we move them up. When, a new child comes in, we start them from whatever letter we are at and continue. Once, we complete all the letters and then test them. If they are ready to be moved up, we move them up. And if they’re not ready yet, we start them from the beginning.

No, they are NOT allowed to leave the room by themselves. One of the teachers, always accompany them to the bathroom. We open the front bathroom door and hold the door. We do not go inside the toilet with the kids. Once, they are done using the bathroom, we can help them pull their pants or skirts if needed.

You can also bring in individually wrapped cupcakes and we can pass those out to kids. Kids are NOT allowed to eat anything brought in by other parents, unless their parents are present and accept the treat. If you must bring in open cupcakes, you may pass them out, outside the classroom. That way, parents leaving the class, can decide if they want their child to have it or not. Please notify the teacher a day in advance so we can prepare to celebrate your child’s Birthday.
