The children have either just missed the cutoff date to turn 5 for kindergarten or in many cases, the students are kindergarten-eligible based on their age and chose to have their kindergarten year at LNS. “It’s giving your child the gift of time where they can further develop social and emotional skills. And be able to learn through play which as research has shown is instrumental to their cognitive development,” says longtime Lincoln Nursery School Director, Nancy Fincke. About LNS's Pre-K/K Classroom Studio Red is Lincoln Nursery School’s Pre-K/K classroom. Typically the age range in September is older fours, fives and six year old children. True to the philosophy of Lincoln Nursery School, the curriculum supports children’s learning through play; it is their work. The learning is deeply rooted in projects, guided by the children's interests and teachers’ goals for learning. Teachers provide a wide range of tools to extend children’s curiosity and challenge their understandings. We respect the pace of each child’s learning. Teachers embed Pre-K and Kindergarten concepts within the project based work. Our teachers skillfully nurture each child’s development. Teachers ask questions through play and use hands-on direct instruction to encourage children to explore all aspects of learning including reading, writing, and math. After a year in Studio Red, families can choose for their child to move to Kindergarten or First Grade. Our alumni families have reported that their children felt well prepared for both experiences.
