International Kids House provides educational programs in both Russian and English languages. Truly bilingual cultural environment of our program enhances child’s understanding and acceptance of the complexity of the world, multi-cultural differences and similarities. International Kids House aims at early development of creativity and innovation in child through insertion into bilingual environment, which enables the child to mature with embracement of cultural specifics, acceptance of different points of view, and ultimately leads to a non-violent and non-discriminative behavior and respectful relationships.
Our programs are theme-based and place a strong emphasis on phonics. Some of our objectives include: listening skills, cooperative play, respect for others, fine and gross motor development, letter and sound recognition of Russian and English languages, basic sight-word recognition, basic reading strategies, writing (numbers, letters, words, and basic sentences), counting and recognizing numbers, recognizing and distinguishing shapes and colors, identifying patterns, being able to sort and group objects, counting by five and ten, basic measurement in standard and non-standard units, basic estimating and graphing, simple addition, and science discovery. We obtain these objectives through stories, learning centers, and various activities during each unit.
