Kindergarten Readiness: Academic and Social Skills Development

At Ivybrook Academy Sarasota, we understand the importance of preparing your child for their transition to kindergarten. Our preschool program is designed to provide a strong foundation for academic, social, and emotional growth, setting your child up for success in their future education.

How our program prepares your child for kindergarten:

Early literacy skills: We focus on developing your child's language and literacy skills through engaging activities such as storytime, phonics exercises, and vocabulary-building games.
Mathematical thinking: Our curriculum includes hands-on experiences and games that introduce basic math concepts like counting, sorting, and patterns.
Social and emotional development: We foster a positive and inclusive classroom environment where children learn to communicate, cooperate, and develop empathy for others.
Critical thinking and problem-solving: Through open-ended activities and guided exploration, we encourage your child to think creatively, solve problems, and make independent decisions.
Fine and gross motor skills: Our program includes exercises that encourage the development of fine motor skills, such as writing and cutting, as well as gross motor skills, like running and climbing.

By providing a well-rounded and comprehensive preschool experience, we aim to give your child the confidence and skills they need to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.

Why Choose Afternoon Classes?

Afternoon classes provide a range of unique advantages that benefit both children and parents, making for a more enjoyable, engaging, and effective learning environment. Here are some key reasons why afternoon classes could be the perfect option:

Avoid the Morning Hustle: Mornings can often be a chaotic time for families, filled with the pressure of getting everyone dressed, fed, and out the door. Opting for afternoon classes removes the stress of a rushed start, allowing families to ease into their day more calmly.
Harness Afternoon Energy: The afternoon is a time when children are typically more energetic and attentive, making it ideal for hands-on, interactive learning activities. Afternoon classes tap into this peak energy period, encouraging active engagement and more effective learning.
Convenient for Busy Parents: For parents who have commitments in the morning or prefer to handle their appointments and errands earlier in the day, afternoon classes offer a flexible scheduling option that fits seamlessly into their daily routines.
Well-Rested Learners: Children attending afternoon classes often come to school more rested and alert, which greatly enhances their capacity to focus and absorb new information.
Smooth Transition to Full-Day School: Afternoon classes are a great way for children to gradually adjust to the structure and routine of a full school day, helping them get ready for the demands of elementary school or longer school days in the future.
Focused Learning Environment: With fewer distractions, afternoon sessions can provide a more concentrated and tailored learning experience, which is beneficial for children's educational development.
Access to Enrichment Opportunities: Afternoon classes offer the flexibility to include a variety of enrichment activities that go beyond the standard curriculum, supporting children's overall growth and broadening their learning experience.
