Cougar Prep Curriculum
At Clariden, students have a world of possibilities for achievement because they have the freedom to learn, communicate and be themselves.
Clariden’s Early Childhood division includes Cougar Prep for children ages three to five and our Kindergarten program. In a joyful environment, children’s guided play-based learning is fueled by their curiosity and collaboration. Students acquire the skills and knowledge that are the foundation for their future growth and learning.
Every child is known. We understand that every child is unique and gifted in their own way. Teachers leverage each student’s particular interests and abilities, allowing them to grow emotionally and academically.
At Clariden, our diverse community is infused with positive values, exposing students to many different beliefs and customs. We are a secular school that welcomes families of all faiths, fostering a safe environment free of political or social influences. Your child will feel safe at Clariden, emotionally and physically.
Early Childhood is where your child will be loved and cared for, make lifelong friends, and develop their identity as learners, innovators, and collaborators.
We are thrilled you are considering Clariden for your child and cannot wait for you to join us!
Project Examples
“Elephants”
Students take an exciting learning journey to the lands of Asian and African elephants! Students learn about body features, habitats, behaviors, and diet. Students explore elephant conservation efforts and create an art piece to raise funds to adopt an elephant from the World Wildlife Foundation. At the end of the project, students design an elephant habitat and showcase their work in a classroom museum exhibition.
“Bees”
Students explore the importance of bees in our ecosystem. Students learn about the bee lifecycle, different roles and responsibilities in the hive, the process and impact of pollination, and how honey is made. Students take a trip to a local bee farm to meet an apiarist and learn proper beekeeping.
