Special Programs
These programs are integrated into the normal school week:
Computer Program
Our Jr. K classes will receive computer instruction weekly during our S.T.E.A.M units. The teachers strengthen learning by utilizing programs that incorporate patterning, matching, sequencing, categorizing, numeral and letter naming.
Mindfulness Program
We teach mindfulness to children throughout the school year. We use a hands on approach in sharing with them skillful ways of relating to life’s uncomfortable and challenging moments. We know by teaching mindfulness in young children we are helping children self-regulate, cultivate resilience, develop and refine their mindfulness practice as they mature
Music Program
The children in all of the classes receive music instruction on a weekly basis. The music program incorporates thematic songs, rhythmic movement, and playing of simple musical instruments.
Motor Development Program
This specialized program teaches the children to follow directions, develop muscle coordination and body control. The children are introduced to new games, exercise, and equipment. Most of all, the children lean that physical activity is fun!
Giving Program
Canterbury is committed to teaching children that giving to others is important. Canterbury families, will be involved in helping others within the Richmond community.
