Flowers Classroom Overview

The Flowers Classroom is designed for children who are 4½ to 5 years old before September. This transitional class supports students preparing for kindergarten, offering a balance between academic readiness and social-emotional growth. Children in this classroom may be grouped with Junior Kindergarten if they show readiness for a more advanced curriculum or with the Blossoms class (ages 4 to 4½) to further strengthen foundational skills. This flexible grouping ensures that each child receives individualized support based on their development.

Age Group: 4½ to 5 years old

Objectives

Preschool Objectives (Ages 4 ½ to 5 Years)

Learning Skills & Early Numeracy

Children begin developing pre-literacy and early math skills through hands-on, play-based experiences. Teachers support fine motor development by introducing pencil grasp, tracing, matching, and sorting activities. Picture books, interactive storytelling, and guided conversations help build vocabulary, listening skills, and a love for reading in both Arabic and English.

Cognitive & Physical Development

Aligned with CDC Developmental Milestones and Virginia Quality standards, teachers observe and document each child’s growth in problem-solving, memory, coordination, and motor skills. Activities are designed to promote both gross motor abilities (like climbing and jumping) and fine motor precision (such as stacking, stringing, and pouring).

Social-Emotional Learning

Children are supported in building positive relationships, recognizing emotions, and expressing needs. Through group activities, routines, and guided interactions, they learn to take turns, follow simple rules, and gain self-confidence. Responsive caregiving helps foster a strong sense of belonging and emotional security.

Language & Speech Development (Bilingual Approach)

Language acquisition is supported in both Arabic and English using the Total Physical Response (TPR) method, repetition, music, and storytelling. Children learn to follow simple instructions, identify familiar words, and begin forming short sentences. Daily routines, songs, and visual cues strengthen early speech development in both languages.

Creative Expression & Artistic Development

Art is an essential part of exploration and self-expression. Through age-appropriate art and sensory activities, children are encouraged to create freely using a variety of materials. Projects are focused on the process rather than the product, supporting fine motor skills and creativity.

Understanding the World

Children begin to make sense of the world around them through themed activities, nature exploration, and cultural celebrations. They observe patterns, care for classroom plants or animals, and engage in dramatic play that mirrors everyday experiences, helping them build awareness of their environment and community

Curriculum Framework

We follow Virginia’s Foundation Blocks for Early Learning and Virginia Quality guidelines, ensuring a developmentally appropriate, research-based approach to early childhood education. Our program focuses on building essential skills in early literacy, math, science, and social studies, while also nurturing self-regulation, positive social interaction, and problem-solving abilities. Children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and engage in hands-on learning that supports curiosity and cognitive development. Through our bilingual curriculum (Arabic and English), we also promote cultural awareness and language development.
Virginia Quality principles guide our focus on responsive teaching practices, family engagement, and ongoing assessment to support every child’s individual growth. We provide a warm, inclusive environment where children feel safe, respected, and ready to learn through purposeful play, structured routines, and meaningful adult-child interactions.
