Our Approach: Incremental, Multi-Sensory, Joyful

We combine the proven Saxon curriculum with our Kids Village five-senses method so concepts build steadily and connect to real life through touch, taste, movement, sound, and sight.

Program Progression (Ages ~2½–6)

Four joyful stages that build confidence and skills—each with age-appropriate academics and workshop experiences.
AGES 2 1/2 – 3

Little Sprouts

Warm first school experiences: routines, language-rich play, and one-on-one attention. Foundations in letters, sounds, shapes, colors, and numbers—plus workshop time to build motor and cognitive skills.

AGES 3–4

Sweet Peas

First steps in reading & writing with weekly letter focus and early numeracy. Social growth through sharing, rules, and cooperation prepares children to advance.

AGES 4–5

Tater Tots

Pre-K readiness: early reading, sentence building, and practical math (time, measuring, money). Workshops reinforce understanding through all five senses.

AGES 5–6

Kindercarrots

Challenging kindergarten curriculum: reading fluency, penmanship, capitalization/punctuation, and math (addition, subtraction, money, patterns) in small groups.

Program names & age ranges reflect Kids Village’s four core classes.

Why Saxon Works

Saxon introduces concepts incrementally, builds on prior knowledge, and spirals review so mastery sticks—ideal for young learners.
