Pre-Primary Program - An Overview
University Lake School’s Kindergarten programs involve the internationally
recognized Reggio Emilia approach to teaching and learning which fosters
inquiry, experience, reflection and expression. The child is respected as
capable, competent, and full of abilities and ideas. The teachers
co-construct in-depth investigations with the students so that each child is
actively involved with the studies. These investigations may last for a
week, month or extend throughout the entire school year. By using the
Reggio approach to early childhood education, children develop life long
learning skills.
Because they are encouraged to observe, question, hypothesize and experiment in
authentic, meaningful investigations, the children’s learning extends far
beyond basic skills. Most importantly, students leave the kindergarten
programs excited about learning and with the skills and confidence to
succeed in the next stages of their educational careers
This page is dedicated towards providing insight into the daily activities
of our Junior and Senior Kindergarten students. This page contains a few examples of
the daily communication pieces that we send out to our families. Please feel
free to browse these sample journals, as they will be updated from time to time.
If you are the parent of a current Kindergarten student please check your
e-mail frequently as we will be sending out journals and class information on
a daily basis.
