Letters of the Week:
The most current research shows that teaching letters in context is a much more effective method than the outdated Letter of the Week method. Therefore, we have now transitioned away from teaching a letter of the week. Letters will now be taught through our weekly/monthly themes and units. All the activities that we complete are planned around the themes and units. Just like math activities, literacy activities can also be planned with any theme. Additionally, because letters are integrated into our themes and units, there is not a given timeline for how letters will be learned because students learn letters at their own pace. Please review the At-Home Resources to see how you can support your child learning letters.

Summer School:
Current MCPKA students that will be attending kindergarten for the 2019-2020 school year are invited to attend our 6-week Get Ready for Kindergarten program at a discounted rate.*
Discounts and Referral Tuition Credit:
Although Get Ready for Kindergarten is designed for non-MCPKA families or students that attended MCPKA for 9 months or less, there will be a $100 discount for current MCPKA students that attend the full 6-weeks.** Additionally, there will be a referral discount for the MCPKA 2019-2020 school year for families that refer a non-MCPKA family to our Get Ready for Kindergarten program. The referred family must pay for and attend all 6-weeks and mention your name as the the referring family upon registration. Each referral will provide a $50 tuition credit to the referring family and there are no limits for how many referrals that you can make. This means that if you refer all 8 students for our Get Ready for Kindergarten program, you will receive $400 tuition credit towards the upcoming school year!*** Please click here for more information about our summer program. Feel free to contact Miss Cheyenne with further questions.
*Students must turn 5 by September 1st.
