Our KINDERGARTEN READINESS program is teacher lead, with an emphasis on quality state standards to promote individual learning and experiences. The classroom utilizes the curriculum’s of Zoo Phonics, Handwriting Without Tears and High Scope. Students are challenged and guided through key experiences in language and literacy, math and science, social-emotional skills, physical development and the arts. While working on new skills, they are provided time to refine already learned valuable skills (this is called scaffolding). The Cove is also a great place for alternate day kindergarteners who benefit some extra attention to key focus areas with a smaller class size. Watch your little caterpillar transform before your eyes into a beautiful butterfly ready to soar in our big world!

About Becca VanderBroek:
Hi, my name is Becca and I am the Caterpillar Cove teacher. I started at Creative Kids in September 2008 right after I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelor's Degree in History. My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 2 years and we live in Borculo. We have a Siberian husky name Diesel. We enjoy being outside no matter what the season. In the winter we enjoy snowboarding and in the summer we spend all of our time at my parent's cottage. I have had a blast working here and am excited to spend more time with your kids.
