NJS KINDER COTTAGE
PHILOSOPHY
​
While we always welcome new friends joining our Kinder
Cottage family (on a space available basis), we are currently
offering one consistent cohort for children 3 year through 5
year old. Continuity of care with familiar friends and teachers
is a gift for all. We strive to foster the child’s self-esteem
and self-help skills, in a traditional preschool setting, sharing
a thematic curriculum for the younger children, while
introducing the older children to a more academic curriculum.
Specifically, Pre-Kindergarten Readiness. We emphasis positive
social interaction in a family group setting. We encourage
independence and problem solving. Above all, we would like the
children to experience a positive, fun and nurturing
environment for them to continue to grow, as well as succeed.

CURRICULUM
​
Each day day consists of special time for open play, circle, Spanish, art, music, calendar, story time, exploration, dramatic play, table time, stations, small motor, large motor and outdoor/farm play, greenhouse, gardens, playgrounds, water play and a lollipop bike loop plus a covered outside learning porch for use year round (a curriculum schedule is emailed each week).
Our curriculum incorporates a nationally recognized core program The Letter People. This is a balanced early literacy program that introduces the children to the letters of the alphabet thematically, while teaching a life lesson. Each letter person unit encourages development in the cognitive, language, mathematical, musical, large/small motor and artistic areas. This curriculum is flexible, which enables us to plan accordingly for each child. Consistency, set expectations and positive reinforcement are adhered to daily, with the same teachers working with the children each day.
