Spark Preschool: Ignite the Love of Learning! (Circle Time, Reading, and Math!) Spark Preschool is designed to ignite a lifelong love of learning in curious young minds. Through a thoughtfully designed program that blends engaging circle time activities, phonetic awareness, and playful math explorations, I foster a love for discovery and exploration in a safe and nurturing virtual environment. What to expect in each 30-minute session: Circle Time Connection: Each session kicks off with a lively circle time filled with interactive songs, rhymes, greetings, and social-emotional learning activities. This interactive time helps develop communication skills, build friendships, and create a sense of belonging. We might sing a hello song, play a quick "I Spy" game to practice observation skills, or read a short social story to introduce a theme. Storybook Adventures: I will bring beloved children's books to life with expressive storytelling and engaging activities. Children will develop their listening comprehension, vocabulary skills, and imagination as they embark on exciting literary journeys. After reading, I might have students create their own illustrations or answer comprehension questions to solidify the story's message. (MONDAYS) Phonics Fun : I introduce young learners to the building blocks of language - phonics! Through engaging activities and clear pronunciation, children will begin to recognize letter sounds and understand how they blend together to form words. We might practice identifying beginning sounds of words with pictures ("M for Monkey!"), sing an alphabet song with emphasis on sounds, or play a simple matching game with letters and pictures. (WEDNESDAYS) Math Magic: Through playful songs, games, and hands-on activities (encouraged but not required - students can use household objects!), the math curriculum introduces young learners to basic math concepts like counting, sorting, shapes, and patterns. Children will develop a love for numbers and discover the joy of problem-solving. We might sing a counting song, or challenge students to identify shapes in their surroundings. Spark Preschool provides a rich and stimulating online learning experience that caters to a variety of learning styles. Join us and watch your child's love of learning ignite!

Hello I'm Teacher Neka, and I'm passionate about sparking a love of learning in young minds!
My classes focus on making learning FUNtastic! We'll be singing catchy songs, playing engaging games, and building a strong foundation through laughter and joy.
Here's why this approach is powerful:
- Engaged Learners: When learning is fun, children are more engaged and retain information better.
- Positive Associations: A positive association with learning sets the stage for lifelong curiosity and a love of exploration.
- Holistic Development: My playful approach caters to different learning styles, fostering cognitive, social, and emotional growth.
Here's a bit about my super cool adventures so far:
-Unlocking Super Skills: I used to be a Behavior Technician where I used ABA therapy for children with Autism and helped to unlock their super skills.
-Leader of the Fun Bunch: I wrangled a group of energetic kiddos at the Boys and Girls Club, making sure they had a blast while learning new things through songs, games and tons of laughter!
-Music magic: I have a bachelors in Music with an emphasis in voice. That means we'll sing lots of songs because they're a secret weapon for remembering new things!
-Preschool Powerhouse: I was a lead teacher for little superstars like YOU! I created all sorts of exciting lessons filled with singing, reading, and learning adventures.
Now, I'm a super-proud stay-at-home mom to two amazing little girls, but my love for teaching school readiness and music never fades!
Here's what makes learning with me extra special:
-Learning with Laughter: We'll have tons of fun singing, playing games, and exploring the world together!
-Growing at Your Pace: Every child learns differently, and that's okay! We'll work together to help you reach your full potential.
-Books and Beyond: We'll go on a storybook adventure with every class I teach while asking thought-provoking questions that will fuel your imagination.
I can't wait to meet you all and start our learning adventure together!
