4K Program

Lake Country School's philosophy of the four-year-old kindergarten program is to create a safe, nurturing, and enriching classroom environment.  Here, students are given the opportunities and guidance to explore, manipulate, and create with the goal of accomplishing kindergarten readiness and fostering a love of learning. Our curriculum is guided by the Wisconsin Model for Early Learning Standards.

4K/NEW 5K SCREENING

 Hello 4-year-old and 5-year-old Kindergarten Parents,

In preparation for next year, we would like the opportunity to get to know our future students the best we can. In getting to know each child, we are able to make some instructional plans for the upcoming school year as well as make sound decisions about class placements. We want each classroom environment to be the strongest it can be.

Some of the activities your child can expect to participate in during the screening include (but are not limited to) cutting and coloring, answering basic academic questions, and writing his/her name.

Two forms that need to be filled out and brought to the screening are:

1. The DIAL-4 Parent Questionnaire. This questionnaire allows you to reflect on and rate specific behaviors related to normal development.

2. A request form to contact your child’s preschool, daycare, and/or 4-K teachers.  We will only contact your child’s childcare provider or teacher on an as-needed basis. You would be informed before contact is made. In certain cases, we appreciate knowing previous child care provider’s impressions, to help make a smooth transition to kindergarten and provide the most appropriate classroom situation for your child.

Any questions can be directed to Lisa Acton, school secretary, at 367-3606.

Sincerely,

The Lake Country 4K and 5K Team
