Get Set for School Program
Get Set for School “learning without tears” is a Curricular Program designed by an Occupational Therapist for students in the Preschool stages. At KCP we implement this program for STEM and Pre-Kinder students as an approach to the development of fundamental language skills, fine motor skills, mathematical and scientific thinking, and work habits, among other skills. Get Set for School is an intuitive and evolutionary program that is respectful of the learning processes of each child.
Our KCP cubs learn in an imaginative environment, which allows active learning (hands-on), with manipulatives that provide students with multi-sensory stimuli, while they encourage creativity, socio-emotional training, and dispositions for learning such as independence.
