Kindergarten Program

General Courses

The following courses are offered to all levels.

Eagle’s arts and crafts class offer students the opportunity to create art, learn about colours, and how to utilize various art supplies such as crayons and glue. This course aims to improve students’ fine motor skills and enhance their creativity.

Students use smart boards in lessons for interactive learning experiences. They engage with digital content, annotate and mark up material, participate in quizzes and games, and follow demonstrations and modeling. The smart board facilitates active participation, collaboration, and diverse learning styles, whether in the classroom or during remote learning.

Every month children learn different songs and dances associated with the theme of the month. Music strengthens children’s sensory development and memory whereas dancing helps with improving their coordination and self-expression.

Eagle combines exercises with easy chants to help children to not only stay active, but to also learn a variety of verbs each month. Associating actions with words helps children to learn new vocabularies much faster and remember them better.

Japanese language class teaches basic reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, focusing on hiragana, katakana, and basic kanji. It also integrates cultural lessons, exploring Japanese customs, festivals, food, arts, history, and daily life through interactive activities. This combination fosters an appreciation for Japan while developing practical language skills.

Phonics class teaches children to read and write by focusing on the relationship between sounds and letters. Children learn to recognize letters, associate them with sounds, blend sounds to form words, and break words into their component sounds for spelling.

Math class develops basic arithmetic skills and understanding of concepts like shapes, patterns, and measurements. Activities include hands-on learning with manipulatives, interactive games, and problem-solving exercises. These engaging methods help children apply math in practical ways, building a strong foundation, critical thinking, and confidence in using numbers.

Every month, students will be learning about a different topic in science class and have an experiment to help students understand the concepts being taught. This is a student lead activity where they can freely explore and discover the concepts at their own pace with the guidance of the teachers.

Level-Specific Courses

We offer 5 different levels in our kindergarten program which are organized based on students’ abilities. In this way, children are able to move at their own pace regardless of their current age.

Level 1-2

Approximately ages
LVL 1 1.5-3
LVL 2 2-3

Phonics/Reading

This class focuses on basic phonics and the alphabet. At this level, students begin to read and write simple three-letter words. Using pictures and vocabulary flashcards, listening activities, games, and tests, the students are able to identify new words and sounds easily. Students in this level also begin to write in their textbooks.

Fine Motorskills

Fine motor skills refer to the coordination of small muscles in movements—typically involving the synchronization of the hands and fingers—with the eyes. These skills are crucial for performing tasks that require precision and accuracy.

Mathematics

This class focuses on counting, recognizing written numbers, comparing numbers, and recognizing basic shapes, and other basic math concepts. By the end of this level, they will learn to do simple addition. During math homework time they will learn to write numbers as well as practice the skills they learn in class.

Gross Motor skills

Gross motor skills refer to the abilities required to control the large muscles of the body for activities such as walking, running, jumping, and maintaining balance. These skills are crucial for overall physical development and everyday .

Conversation

Students in this class can easily talk about their own personal information (name, age, where they live, favorites). On top of this they will learn more complex conversations about things such as talking about others.

Stem and Sciences

Every month, students will be learning about a different topic in science class and have an experiment to help students understand the concepts being taught.

A few examples we will be studying this year are:
-Shapes
-Colors
-Weather & Seasons
-Magnets

Level 3-4

Approximately ages
LVL 3 4-5
LVL 4 5-6

Phonics/Reading/Writing

This class focuses on basic phonics and the alphabet. At this level, students can read and write three letter words and continue writing sentences.This class builds off of the level 2 class, by introducing consonant blends. Students learn longer, more complex words and sentences.

Mathematics

This class focuses on counting, recognizing written numbers, comparing numbers, and recognizing basic shapes. By the end of this level, they will learn to do simple subtraction. During math homework time they will refine their math skills learned in class by doing addition and subtraction worksheets. Depending on the level of the students currently in the class, they may continue on to learn double-digit addition with carry-over and subtraction with borrowing.

Conversation

Students in this class can easily talk about themselves and others and on a variety of topics. On top of this they will learn more complex conversations that build off of the simple grammar introduced in the previous classes. They learn more difficult grammar like the differences between “this” and “these.”

International Studies

Every week, they will be learning about a different country from around the world.
The lesson will discuss about the locations, flags, cultures, music, and languages of different countries.

STEM/Programming

Every month, students will be learning about a different topic in science class and have an experiment to help students understand the concepts being taught.

A few examples we will be studying this year are:
-Simple Machines (levers, pulleys, inclined plane, screw)

-Dinosaurs and fossils
– Space and Planets

Music
