Computer class (Mouse Kids), dance and karate are available at an additional cost.
We have two unique options for preschoolers ages 3-6: We provide a quality learning environment in both our Wave Preschool programs and our Montessori preschool. “What's the difference?” Dr. Maria Montessori spent many decades working with the young child and based on her observations of their needs, identified the following development areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math, Art, Science, Culture and Geography. At WAVE CLC the Montessori Teachers provide a structured environment that encourages children of mixed ages to explore and experience the joy of learning between the hours of 8:30am - 1pm or 8:30am - 5pm Monday through Friday. During this time the children select their activities from Montessori based materials and work without interruption. Children are given the appropriate language to accompany all their excercises thus expanding their vocabulary and knowledge of the materials throughout the classroom.
