Practical Life
Things we take for granted in day to day living have to be learned.  It is with this in mind that children are introduced to practical life.  Our aim is to introduce fundamental skills such as pouring, threading, transferring, and polishing as well as an appreciation of the environment and a consideration of all things within it.  Our aim is that these activities will help children develop their coordination and concentration, and to gain confidence and independence in preparation for future progress.

Sensorial   
The sensorial equipment has been specifically designed to help your child to use their senses to learn about the world.  Your child will learn to judge different heights, lengths, weights, colors, sounds, smells, shapes, and textures.  Due to the nature of the material your child is also preparing for reading, writing, and math.

Cultural Subjects
We maintain a global outlook on these subjects, helping your child to understand how they fit into their environmental, geographical, historical, and cultural makeup of the world.  We introduce Spanish to the children as well as words from the different languages of children attending Grand View. 

Language
This begins by first combining sound, shape, and visual appearance of the letter.  Your child then starts to build 3 letter phonic words followed by reading. 

Mathematics  
We start by introducing numbers, combining the sound, shape, and visual appearance of the symbol together with the quantity.  We work from simple to complex as we reinforce your child’s existing knowledge and then moving onto new concepts.

Creativity
  

This includes art, music, and the development of the imagination, self-expression, and self-identification.
