SDA offers exceptional kindergarten curriculum

331When exploring schools for your kindergartner, look no further than Self Development Academy (SDA), with its quality curriculum, which includes exceptional lesson plans, enrichment and higher-level thinking.

SDA continues to exceed standards and enrich higher levels of learning within the kindergarten program. The school acknowledges the importance of a solid curriculum to prepare children for their academic success. The kindergarten program allows children to begin their educational learning experience in a caring and intellectually stimulating environment. The classroom introduces kindergarten and first-grade curriculum goals, and encourages concept mastery and academic confidence.

The kindergarten program prepares children to learn key subject matter, which yields knowledge for a classroom environment transition for first grade. The school’s success focuses on teaching children the advanced curriculum in a structured and methodical approach. The classroom concentrates on mastery of math, reading and writing. Teachers impart listening and communication skills and higher-level thinking, while also providing a nurturing classroom for social growth.

As a certified teacher and state-endorsed reading teacher, I know the importance of early education intervention to promote a foundation for academic success. The school uses a multi-sensory phonics instruction, focusing on visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic techniques, which reach each child’s learning style. They learn phonemic awareness, red words (sight words), as well as spelling, writing and reading within each lesson.

By the end of the year, children are reading at or above first-grade level, writing grammatically complete sentences, and authoring and editing their own books. Mathematical components include number concepts and introduction to addition and subtraction, with daily math facts, fact families, and word problems.

Enrichment programs and specials are a vital component of this program. These programs and specials include music appreciation, technology, art, physical education, and literacy and cultural enrichment. Kindergarten students have a chance to showcase their musical and artistic talents during the school’s Winter Program.

This year, SDA integrated the use of technology into the curriculum by purchasing versatile laptops and tablets. At the same time, the students are learning how to use various technological applications. They are accessing programs, serving to reinforce curriculum concepts. Being proficient with the use of technology is essential in the 21st century.

The dedication and sincere devotion of the teachers to instill these essential concepts is amazing. The kindergarten classroom has two certified and professional teachers whose goals are to set the students up for success. As lead teacher, I see the commitment to each student’s education every day, and share my positive comments. SDA delivers a well-rounded educational experience for your child. The school offers children the opportunity to develop a love for learning and a daily challenge to think at a higher level.

SDA is an award-winning public charter school (kindergarten through grade eight), offering an accelerated curriculum to its students.

Beginning on Dec. 15, Self Development Academy is accepting enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year. If you would like to learn more about Self Development Academy-Mesa, located at 1709 N. Greenfield Road, or schedule a tour, please contact the school at (480) 641-2640.
