First Time Subscribers

As we guide children through their educational journey, it's essential to remember: No matter when a child enters the curriculum, introduction and repetition are key to their success! For those joining mid-year, circle time drills play a crucial role in setting the stage for future academic success and easing the transition into any curriculum.

Why Circle Time Matters

Circle time isn't just a daily routine; it's a cornerstone for developing pre-academic skills. Through structured activities like songs, counting exercises, and letter recognition, children are introduced to foundational concepts in a fun and engaging way. These early exposures help prepare them to seamlessly adapt to a curriculum, even if they start mid-year.

The Power of Repetition

Repetition during circle time helps reinforce learning. Whether it's singing the alphabet song, counting aloud, or practicing calendar activities, these drills create familiarity and confidence in young learners. Even if a child doesn't fully grasp a concept right away, the consistent practice provides the building blocks they need to progress.

Introduction Is Key

For toddlers, introducing concepts like letters, numbers, and routines is more important than mastery. For instance: If children are learning letters like "K" and "L" exposure is more critical than perfect recall or recognition. When counting to 100, it's okay if they only reach 20 or 30. The goal is to lay the groundwork for future success. Practicing with safe crayons or stencils helps develop fine motor skills, even if they're not yet writing numbers perfectly.
