The School Readiness program represents an important transition for our preschoolers as they embark on the next stage of their educational journey. At this pivotal juncture, our primary objective is to equip them with the foundational skills necessary to thrive in a school environment.
Literacy Development:
In our School Readiness program, we prioritize the acquisition of fundamental literacy skills. Children learn to recognize and master three-letter words, engage in phonetic blending, and improve comprehension through engaging activities and interactive learning experiences. This fosters a love for reading and enhances language acquisition.
Numeracy Skills:
Our curriculum emphasizes the mastery of numeracy concepts, empowering children to confidently navigate mathematical concepts from counting to 100, basic arithmetic operations, and problem-solving skills. Hands-on activities and visual aids help children develop a solid understanding of numerical concepts, laying a strong foundation for future mathematical proficiency.
Holistic Development:
Beyond literacy and numeracy, the program encompasses a broad spectrum of learning experiences designed to nurture children’s holistic development. Children develop basic writing skills and explore geographical concepts such as continents and planets. This diverse curriculum broadens their understanding of the world around them.
Community Awareness:
Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on social studies and community awareness. Children learn about the importance of community involvement, civic responsibility, and the value of giving back to society through interactive lessons and collaborative projects. This instills in them a sense of belonging and responsibility towards their community.
Play and Creativity:
Recognizing the importance of play, our program includes structured games and creative activities. These allow children to apply their newfound skills in a fun and interactive setting, fostering creativity, imagination, and social interaction.
Overall Objective:
Our School Readiness program is designed to provide a comprehensive and enriching educational experience that prepares children for success in school and beyond. By fostering a love for learning, nurturing essential skills, and instilling values of citizenship and community engagement, we empower children to reach their full potential and become lifelong learners.

Our leave of absence policy covers situations where families need to take extended leaves. Please refer to our Leave of Absence Policy for detailed information. In summary, when a leave of absence is taken for two weeks or more, tuition is reduced to 50%, provided that the school is notified in advance with a minimum of two weeks' notice or one month's notice. Failure to provide adequate notice may result in full tuition for the subsequent month.

Currently, we do not offer hot meals. However, we provide morning snacks. Parents are encouraged to pack lunch for their children, especially if they have dietary preferences or restrictions. While we have a menu for morning snacks, we do not offer substitutions.
At Creative Hearts, we approach challenging behavior with love, compassion, and understanding. We do not believe in punishment or timeouts. Instead, children are redirected and offered a "thinking spot" within the classroom where they can calm themselves with quiet activities. If a pattern of behavior persists, parents are notified, and a meeting is arranged. Bullying is taken seriously, and our teachers are trained to address it with kindness and understanding, involving parents as necessary. We prioritize problem-solving and communication over punitive measures.
