BABY HOOTS

6MOS-18MOS

Your baby will love learning at Book Nook because they’ll be having fun. Each class is planned around a weekly theme such as zoo animals or life on the farm, and incorporates related books, music and interactive play into each lesson. Baby Hoots are introduced to structured play and learning while developing their attention spans and focus.

LIL HOOTS

18MOS-30MOS

For many Lil’ Hoots, this is their first time participating in a “drop-off” class, and we help ease any anxiety that might arise from separation. If children have difficulty separating, a caregiver can accompany them into class and slowly ease their way out, so children don’t feel overwhelmed or anxious. We also have a place for caregivers to sit while class is in session.

EARLY HOOTS

30MOS-40MOS

Each class is planned around a weekly theme such as zoo animals or life on the farm, and incorporates related books, music and art projects. We continue to foster your child’s love of reading at age 3 and provide parents with a curated book list that will be used throughout the year. Our main academic focus for this tier is handwriting, letter recognition and letter formation.

PRE HOOTS

40MOS-48MOS

Whether children have advanced to this level or are just starting out, they’re eager to discover new skills and put what they’ve learned into action. Reading for preschool age children starts with pre-reading techniques such as identifying letters and learning how to read sounds to put a word together. We use three letter words arranged by consonant, vowel, consonant (C-V-C words) to teach children this process.

KINDER HOOTS

40MOS-48MOS

Kinder Hoots are excited to develop their individual skills as they prepare for kindergarten. Reading independently starts in January, so the beginning of the year is dedicated to mastering phonics, handwriting and pre-reading skills such as building words and word families. Children who have attended our Pre Hoots level are familiar with these concepts but at this level the activities are more challenging.
