Full Day Fours is an everyday/all day preschool program for four-year olds. The program includes a balance of both STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering , Art and Math) and Early Childhood Workshop Model (ECW). The ECW is a standards-based framework for learning that will prepare children for the Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop Model they will experience in elementary school.
The STEAM-based learning practice includes hands-on, individualized learning. STEAM is embedded into daily life, and advanced through teachers who create intentional learning environments and experiences.
