Summer Bridge is a school readiness program intended to support your child’s transition and promote a successful start in kindergarten. Pre-registration is required and full participation in the 5 week program is highly encouraged as each week builds upon itself and creates a sense of continuity for the children.
During this program we will support your child in developing the following key kindergarten readiness skills:
Concept Development
- Recognize and/or name colors
- Match or sort items by color and shape
- Understand concepts such as: in, out, under, on, off, front and back
- Know her/his body parts (head, shoulders, knees, etc.)
Physical Development
- Cut with scissors
- Try to tie her/his shoes
- Enjoy outdoor play such as running, jumping and climbing
- Hold a crayon or marker
Number Concept Development
- Arrange items in groups according to size, shape or color
- Group items that are the same
- Arrange toys or objects in size order, big to small or small to big
- Correctly identify four to ten objects
Language
