Curriculum

Spanish

At The Country Day School of Colts Neck, our goal is to prepare your child for a successful future. Research shows that learning a second language helps children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Learning a second language boosts cognitive development. At The Country Day School, we offer Spanish classes starting in the Tiny Toddler Room because at this young age, children have a natural ability to easily absorb and learn another language. We encourage each child to work through the words and repeat them back to our teachers. We intend for this to be educational but also stress the importance of having fun in a brand new way! Your child will speak, sing, dance, and listen to stories all while learning a brand new skill.

Music

At The Country Day School, Mr. Rob from Miss Melissa Aardvarks comes in to dance, clap, sing, and play instruments with the children! Music is beneficial for so many reasons, but most importantly, the children love it! Music allows children to develop their vocabulary and further the development of their fine motor skills. Additionally, music allows children the opportunity to engage and play with their classmates in a new, collaborative way. Music incites your child’s body and mind, helping to promote brain connectivity. Each student leaves music class feeling a sense of achievement and excitement about all that they’ve accomplished!
