5-Year Old Excel Program
For San Antonio, Texas and Austin, Texas Families
Country Home Learning Center offers a highly successful Excel program that incorporates a truly accelerated environment, degreed or CDA certified teachers, and exceptionally small classes. The Country Home Excel Program is accredited by Cognia and aligned with state standards for public school kindergarten. With only 14 students per class, our Country Home Excel Program is almost half the size of most public school Kindergarten classes! In addition to our extra-curricular activities listed below, our Excel students enjoy various educational and fun field trips. They are also introduced to reading and 1st grade math during the second semester.
At Country Home, we offer a distinctly innovative environment for our children. We do not limit our program to one teaching venue or method, but rather provide a virtual banquet of educational choices. Our wonderful facility affords us the opportunity to leave our classroom each day and explore various themed rooms (specialized areas). Each area encompasses unique opportunities and equipment for challenging “hands-on” learning and fun exploration into the world of science, math, computers, language development, drama, and creative arts. Our Excel students spend fun-filled educational days on the move, participating in activities that stimulate their creativity and spur their imagination!
Our students have many planned activities, and we know how important it is to communicate with our parents. Age-specific monthly highlights showcase selected weekly curriculum activities. School-wide monthly newsletters notify parents of special events and other important information. Country Home Report Cards (four times per year) and regularly-scheduled parent/teacher conferences focusing on our Excel Program’s Developmental Checklist help recognize and celebrate each child’s accomplishments. Our annual holiday Open House brings school and families together for a very special evening!
Enrichment Programs
To enhance our comprehensive Excel program, we also provide enrichment classes staffed with specialized Resource Teachers in the following areas:
Spanish: Country Home Learning Center incorporates a “whole-language” approach as our Spanish classes reflect what is currently being taught in our curriculum. Students are introduced to words and songs in Spanish in an effort to gain confidence and familiarity with a second language.
Music and Creative Movement: Our gym with its full wall of mirrors provides the perfect venue for our children to watch themselves perfect their “moves” in our creative movement classes. These classes are specifically geared toward the gross motor developmental goals for each age group. Social skills as well as team concepts are also necessary in the execution of this healthy physical activity.
Computers: Because computer technology has become integrated with all levels education, we feel it is an important part of our Country Home program. Our Computer Lab is equipped with eight independent computer systems and an extensive variety of software for each developmental level.
Adventure Quest: Available to our older students at our San Antonio locations, Adventure Quest in Boerne, Texas, offers pony rides, inflatable water slides, a petting zoo and an old-fashioned General Store where the children enjoy lunches, the purchase of treats with Country Home tokens, and special arts and crafts projects.
Optional Programs
We know your schedules are very busy so with your convenience in mind, we provide the following programs at an additional cost. Please call your school of choice for further details.
Innovative Program: On-site private soccer, basketball, and dance lessons are available to enhance our children’s appreciation for sports and music.
Through all of our varied learning activities, we emphasize our most important objective: to provide our students with many opportunities to succeed every day. Frequent successes in young children promote self-confidence and a higher self-esteem, which are vital to the learning process as the child grows. Our goal is to help each child become an inquisitive, happy, successful and confident young student.
