This summer, Butterflies and Bumblebees Early Learning Center is offering reading, phonics, and math support to children who are planning to enter kindergarten Fall 2019. We use the phonics program Play n' Talk to teach the foundation of reading, phonics. Saxon Math will be used to teach pre-math and mathematics.

The main goal of Pre-K is to prepare children for more independence, higher expectations, and more rigorous learning activities ahead for them upon entering kindergarten. Most kindergarten children are expected to know all their letters A-Z, capital and lowercase, as well as numerals 1-20. Many kindergarten teachers expect children to know letter sounds as well.The goal of our Summer Reading and Math program at Butterflies and Bumblebees will fall in line with Pre-K goals and kindergarten expectations. We will prepare children for kindergarten, and also give them a foot forward by giving them a solid foundation of reading and math skills before entering kindergarten.

Our program will be three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), two hours per day (from 9am to 11am) beginning June 25, 2019. Thirty minutes to an hour will consist of reading and math learning time. The remaining time will be dedicated to fun summer/outdoor activities, art projects, and science experiments! This program is designed to be in a small group setting (5-8) children, but also offers individual tutoring for children with specific needs.

Butterflies and Bumblebees is an Early Learning Center for children ages birth to five years old. Please see the Butterflies and Bumblebees Care.com page for information regarding daycare for children in this age group. Also, see the B&B website listed.
