Building Bridges to School Success
The transition from early learning to school is a significant milestone in your child’s life. At Kenmore Hills Early Learning, we understand that school readiness is about so much more than just academics—it’s about nurturing the whole child.
Through our nature-based Wildhood philosophy, we prepare children with the confidence, independence, and love of learning they need to thrive in their school years ahead. We believe that children learn best when they’re engaged with the natural world, developing curiosity, resilience, and problem-solving skills that will serve them throughout their education.

Foundations for School Success
Social & Emotional Development
Building confidence, resilience, and the ability to form positive relationships with peers and adults. We teach children how to regulate emotions, resolve conflicts, and work collaboratively.
Early Literacy & Numeracy
Developing pre-reading and mathematical skills through play-based learning. Children explore letters, sounds, numbers, and patterns in meaningful, engaging contexts.
Independence & Self-Care
Encouraging children to do things for themselves—from dressing and packing their bags to making choices and solving problems independently.
Communication Skills
Building strong language skills through conversations, storytelling, and listening activities. We help children express their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in meaningful dialogue.
Physical Development
Strengthening gross and fine motor skills through outdoor play, sports, and hands-on activities. From running and climbing to holding pencils and using scissors.
Executive Function Skills
Teaching children to focus attention, follow multi-step instructions, manage time, and persist through challenges—critical skills for classroom success.
