Odyssey Day School: Parents and Teachers as Partners
11 Paul Avenue · Wakefield, MA 01880 · 781-245-6050  
Pre-K/Kindergarten Program

The Pre-K/Kindergarten program includes both full-day and half-day students. Using a theme-based, hands-on approach, the Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten environment promotes social and emotional growth while strengthening each student’s academic abilities. An open-ended classroom theme each year leads to theme-based units of instruction which reflect student interests as well as academic needs. Examples of units have included Wild Cats, Healthy Eating, Space, and Dinosaurs.

During daily Meeting Time, the whole class gathers to discuss the calendar, weather, current events and sharing. At Meeting the students also play math and language arts games including various graphing activities.

Through Learning Centers, the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten age children have opportunities to work in small groups to complete tasks. During Free Choice Time, Snack Time and Outdoor Recess, the children strengthen social skills and build friendships.

The Pre-Kindergarten / Kindergarten class receives Spanish instruction and attends classes taught by specialists in Art, Music and Physical Education. Full-day students have lunch, recess and quiet rest time.
