WHY CIRCLE TIME LEARN N' PLAY?
MUSIC-BASED LEARNING
When music is coupled with learning, you get an emotionally powerful learning experience! Music ignites all areas of child development including academic, social-emotional, gross and fine motor skills, and language
PLAY-BASED LESSONS
Play challenges the minds of children. These hands-on lesson plans and interactive learning videos provide opportunities for children to explore, experiment, discover, and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways.
WHOLE-CHILD FOCUSED
Circle Time Learn n’ Play supports growth in academics, social-emotional learning, and executive functioning skills. Our goal is to help children develop strong minds and bodies by encouraging physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
WHAT WILL YOUR CHILD LEARN?
Circle Time is the part of the day that teaches all of those foundational learning blocks for our little ones. Our engaging, music-based, dual-language circle time is packed with kindergarten readiness content from days of the week to letter sounds. Learn more about “Circle Time” content below!
CALENDAR
Teaching calendar skills helps toddlers and preschoolers become familiar with concepts like yesterday, today, and tomorrow! It helps them gain new vocabulary and an early understanding of number sequencing and patterns. Little ones will also learn to identify different kinds of weather and seasons!
EARLY MATH
Early math in “Circle Time” includes numbers and shapes! The more opportunities you give your little one to count, the more they will understand the meaning behind numbers. After all, counting is the foundation on which all other number concepts are based. Our Circle Time includes counting up to 100 and counting up to 30 in spanish and 8 basic shapes!
EARLY LITERACY
Learning letters and letter sounds is an essential skill that children need in order to read! With consistency and repetition, your little one will begin to associate the written letter with its sound!
COLORS
During Circle Time, littles learn the names of 11 colors in english and spanish as they sing n’ play with Andi and Ms. Maria! Recognizing the colors and identifying the color names is an important part of a child’s development. Early identification of colors helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words.
