Theme The Royals 

The PreKindergarten Program provides a foundation for social and academic learning that will help your child succeed in school and life. The program is an exciting jump start in school, you also have the assurance that your child is well cared for, is enjoying activities and making friends, and is building the knowledge, skills, and confidence to do well in Kindergarten. Children are often intensely interested in reading at an early age. Since reading is essential for future success in all other subjects, 

 

Tree of Life uses Zoo phonics to teach students to read. Rather than memorizing every word (using the whole word method, taught at many preschools), Children, using zoo phonics, learn how letter sounds blend to form words.

 

The first three letters they learns are A. T.   What a child hears first sounds out the word AT after learning just these two, we add a third letter. B and you have Bat, C and you have CAT.  We then use every new letter to teach them to read new words.    Many of our Prekindergarten students are reading when they graduate from Tree of Life Preschool. As a result, students are confident in their reading abilities and are ready to tackle new subjects. 

 

Tree of Life uses a tablet-based learning software designed for children that meets Arizona state standards.   The software program has proven research-backed data and covers seven domains of learning to ensure children are well prepared for Kindergarten.    There are 203 play-based experiences. that engage, instruct, and monitor the children's growth.    The platform adapts to the child's learning abilities and allows us to monitor learning progress to ensure children are ready for Kindergarten.   

 

The software is in English and Spanish.  The Software can be used in the classroom or at home, so children can move at their own pace.    

​

In addition to the software, we balance online learning with hands-on learning experiences, such as writing, art, dramatic play, music, and life science.
