All About Rock Climbers!

  • Curriculum

    Our Rock Climbers class utilizes a faith-based toddler curriculum to ensure they have all of the necessary skills to succeed in school. Their curriculum includes subjects such as Bible study, math, names, literacy, motor skills, and more. The Rock Climbers are a screen-free class and will rarely incorporate any screens into regular lessons. The primary objective in the Rock Climberss class is for each child to solidify their knowledge of basic shapes, numbers, colors, letters, and animals, as well as to begin potty training.

  • Logistics

    All students in Rock Climbers must be 2 years old by September 1st of the current school year. The Rock Climbers class weekly tuition rate is $180/week. Parents joining the Rock Climbers should provide all diapers and wipes for their child and be prepared to switch to pull-ups when the child shows signs of readiness. The Rock Climbers teachers conduct three assessments throughout the year to assess developmental and social skills to ensure school readiness.

  • Structure

    Our Rock Climbers daily schedule is designed very carefully to include adequate time for all lessons, while also acknowledging the developmental needs of 2 year olds. Exploration and play are encouraged, and outdoor time is emphasized throughout the daily schedule. The Rock Climbers also participate in enrichment classes outside of the classroom, such as P.E., worship, and science.
