and comprehension program with a balance of oral and written

Description of Kindergarten Math Program:
Everyday
Math is a developmentally
appropriate program that provides an environment in which
children work and learn about mathematics on their own level
in a challenging atmosphere. The mathematics program
places emphasis on all areas of child development (social,
emotional, physical and cognitive) in order for children
to achieve success.
The developmentally appropriate activities are designed so the emphasis
is on the process of learning mathematical concepts rather than quick answers. |
