5's & Up
At this stage, children refine academic skills while building independence and responsibility. Our program supports reading fluency, math proficiency, and critical thinking through guided practice and enrichment activities. We also emphasize study skills, time management, and leadership development to encourage confidence both inside and outside the classroom. Social growth remains a priority as children learn teamwork, collaboration, and positive peer relationships.
Leadership & Social Growth
Each child has an opportunity to be placed in a leadership role, whether that be a line leader, snack helper, etc. Placing older children into these positions builds confidence, empathy, teamwork, and decision-making skills during key developmental years, helping children form strong peer relationships, handle group dynamics, and carry leadership qualities into school and beyond.
Math Proficiency
Hands-on games like number scavenger hunts, block-stacking for counting/addition, shape sorting challenges, pattern-building with beads or tiles, and real-world tasks such as measuring ingredients or budgeting pretend store play build strong number sense, problem-solving, and logical thinking during peak brain growth years, boosting confidence, academic performance in school, and lifelong skills like financial literacy and critical reasoning.
Executive Function Skills
Executive function skills—like focus, impulse control, planning, and flexibility—for 5’s and school-age kids are taught and reinforced through fun games such as Simon Says, freeze dance, Red Light Green Light, group obstacle courses, and turn-taking puzzles.
This is important because these "brain control" skills help kids follow directions, manage time and emotions, solve problems independently, and thrive academically and socially as they enter school and face bigger challenges.
