Welcome to Ms. April's All Day Fours!
Fours
At this age, children are able to expand learning and take on more challenges while still engaging in building friendships and developing a stong sense of self. Teachers plan and facilitate opportunities to advance skills in academic areas such as literacy, math, technology, engineering and science; as well as creative art, social and emotional well-being and health and safety.
As children grow and develop, their ability to engage in complex projects increases. Pre-kindergarten is an ideal time to introduce children to reading readiness, mathematical thinking, scientific reasoning, intricate artistic experiences and enriched learning opportunities. These activities build upon what children have already learned.
Children are becoming more independent, increasingly responsible for their own choices and decisions. They are ready to start tending to their own personal care and safety, as well as caring for others and the environment. Healthy eating, exercise and safety habits are essential skills that will ensure good choices, develop positive self-esteem and serve childreen throughout their lives.

About Ms. April
Ms. April came to HPUMC Day School with a BA in Children and Family Studies and a minor in Special Education from Tarleton State University. She has been teaching at the Day School since 2013. Her favorite part of teaching is seeing the children walk into the room every morning ready to learn. Ms. April also loves watching the children have an "ah-ha" moment when they learn something new. She is originally from Arlington, TX, where her parents still live. April enjoys traveling, camping, going to sporting events, reading, and exploring Dallas. Ms. April's Favorites |
