Early Childhood Education for Kids Starting at 6 Years

Your child's elementary education can be the foundation for their future academic success. That's why our first-grade program at Safari Kid focuses on providing a well-rounded education that builds essential skills and fosters a love for learning. Nurturing, supportive, and engaging, this early education program designed for children starting at 6 years is the perfect next step in their learning journey.

Find Success with Whole Child Development

Through engaging, hands-on experiences and the unique integration of whole child development, the Socratic Method, and Grade 1 Common Core State Standards, we empower students to become active participants in their education, developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and other skills that will help your student blossom into a lifelong learner.

You can expect our first-grade programs to focus on the following:

Cognitive Development: We involve students in hands-on experiences and basic science investigations, prompting them to observe, predict, and explore. This method fosters scientific inquiry skills and sparks mathematical thinking.
Language and Literacy Development: Our program enhances spoken language skills through storytelling and group discussions. We use read-aloud sessions followed by discussions to make predictions and connections, strengthening reading proficiency.
Social and Emotional Development: We offer cooperative activities and group projects to enhance emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Students are urged to take initiative, manage emotions, and build responsibility and confidence.
Physical Development: Daily routines include indoor active play to develop spatial awareness and balance. We offer outdoor games that promote teamwork and cooperation, enhancing physical coordination and endurance.
Health and Care: We incorporate daily mindfulness practices and introduce basic yoga techniques. Students learn about proper nutrition and practice perspective-taking as part of our wellness approach.

With our research-driven curriculum, supportive environment, and qualified teachers, our approach helps students become the leaders of their education. We strive to meet academic standards to help your students learn and more to help them grow.
