February 3, 2016
From the first day they step on campus, students in early childhood classrooms at The Benjamin School experience a safe, secure, and stimulating world of exploration. The joy of curiosity emerges, as does their appetite for learning.

The journey begins at age three in Worlds of Wonder (WOW) classes as the school’s youngest students embark upon a nurturing and supportive learning adventure. Curiosity is sparked through imaginative play, creative movement, scientific wonderings and mathematical speculation. Together, students and teachers explore the world through language, song, movement, cooking, art, technology, dramatic play and storytelling. Special emphasis, too, is given to building character, self-esteem and a sense of values, while developing an awareness of one’s place in the family, school, community and the world.

As they advance into pre-kindergarten, students are introduced to a broad range of experiences. They learn to interact with peers and adults, cultivate a basis for understanding mathematics, foster good physical and personal habits, and are awakened to an appreciation of music, nature, art, poetry and reading readiness.

The Early Childhood Program peaks in kindergarten with students’ immersion into reading and writing workshops. Mathematics integrates several exceptional learning programs to develop students’ thinking skills, build proficiency and produce confident learners. Exploratory science lessons, physical education, art, music, and the library Story Cottage add excitement and enrichment to the kindergarten classes. Of special note in the Early Childhood Program is the opportunity for students to begin their study of Mandarin Chinese, Spanish and French.

With a supportive school community, exceptional learning experiences, and a nurturing team of accredited and experienced faculty, it is no wonder students in the Early Childhood Program at The Benjamin School are destined to develop into their greatest potential.
