What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursClass Experience
Cruise into Kindergarten will meet for one hour. We will start in circle time, with introductions to build our learning community. We will then move on to early literacy and early math activities to assist in the transition to kindergarten. Numerous resources will be shared with families so that learning can continue after the class is over. Children with special learning needs are welcome! I believe in joyful, small and interactive classes which incorporate music, movement, and hands-on learning experiences. Developmentally Appropriate Practice teaching strategies set forth by the National Association for the Education Young Children will be utilized in addition to providing inclusive practices recommended by the Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I am Dr. Sara Rutledge. I just completed my 29th year as an educator. I am certified in elementary education (K-6) and hold a doctoral degree in education in curriculum and instruction. I am currently a Professor of Education and Education Department Chairperson at a local college where I educate pre-service teachers and supervise their field experiences and student teaching in public and private schools. I also serve as an educational consultant and private tutor. I love working with college students AND young children and that is why I am here. My teaching philosophy involves engaging young children in active learning strategies such as using hands-on manipulatives, learning through play, visual aids, project-based learning, student-centered learning, kinesthetic activities to build fine and gross motor skills, and creative experiences in art, music, dance, and dramatic play.
