Preschool in Aurora, CO: How iKid Academy Gets Kids Ready for Kindergarten
What children learn in our Two's, Three's and Pre-K classes, and what to look for in a preschool near you.
The preschool years go fast. Between ages 2 and 5, children learn to share, follow routines, ask questions and love learning. If you are comparing preschools in Aurora, CO, it helps to know what each age group should be doing and how a school supports that growth.
At iKid Academy, our preschool program is organized by age, so each class matches where your child is developmentally.
Two’s (2–3 years): language, play and creativity
Two-year-olds are curious about everything. In our Two’s class, children explore pretend play, reading books, expanding their vocabulary, dancing and playing musical instruments. This is also a great age for art and sensory play, because children love the feel of creating something with their hands.
Three’s (3–4 years): early math, science and dramatic play
By age three, children are ready for more structure. Our Three’s class introduces applied science, early math, dramatic play, music, creative art and computers. Our teachers use theme-related materials and give individual attention so each child stays engaged.
Pre-Kindergarten (4–5 years): ready for the big step
Our Pre-K class focuses on kindergarten readiness. Each day, teachers balance independent discovery, cooperative learning and plenty of outdoor play. Children practice working in a group, following directions and solving problems on their own, skills that help them feel confident on the first day of kindergarten.
