- Use language and the visual arts to freely and flexibly communicate his or her thoughts and feelings.
- Achieve a strong foundation for reading and writing.
- Acquire a foundation in the key cognitive skills which lead to mathematical and logical thought: Representation, number, classification, seriation, time and spacial relations.
- Begin to learn the arts of listening, empathy, cooperative play, conflict resolution and negotiation.
- Master the gross motor, fine motor and self-help skills needed for success in Kindergarten, and for physical, social and intellectual health and well-being.
