Children entering the Cavalier program must be 3 years old by August 1 of the year they enter the program.
The Cavaliers program capitalizes on the natural curiosity a 3-year-old has about the world and builds on the foundation established in the Canterbury Kids program.
Children feel secure in routines established in the classroom, are responsible for the care of their belongings and assume some simple classroom chores.
Skills and concepts are introduced through dramatic play, stories, favorite songs and finger plays.
Careful attention is given to integrating literacy activities into all aspects of the curriculum.
Conversations and experimentation during group time, story time and choice time introduce math and science concepts daily.
Cavaliers-go to the library, have story time and check out books weekly. Bi-monthly they have gymnastics. Weekly they have music and French complete with conversation and Orff music instruction.
