In Surfing into Pre-K, young learners will build essential early childhood skills in literacy, math, science, and motor development while exploring a fun beach-themed curriculum.

Letter & Number of the Day – Introduction with hands-on practice. Storytime & Discussion – Engaging read-aloud and themed conversation. Activity Time – Hands-on learning through crafts, STEM, or sensory play. Wrap-Up & Review – Fun recap game or goodbye song. How will I teach? I use a play-based, interactive teaching style that blends storytelling, music, and hands-on activities. Lessons will be engaging, with colorful visuals, movement-based learning, and multisensory activities to cater to different learning styles. What's my teaching style? My teaching approach is fun, engaging, and nurturing. I focus on making learning exciting and hands-on, ensuring that every child feels included and encouraged. I use positive reinforcement and interactive activities to keep children engaged and motivated. How much will learners interact with me?
