About Early Skills Prep
We help children develop foundational skills across literacy, numeracy, executive function, and social-emotional learning. Our approach blends playful practice with structured routines, so progress is both visible and motivating.
Our Mission
To make school readiness joyful and measurable by aligning clear goals with compassionate guidance. We empower families with simple tools, steady routines, and data-informed practice that fits real life.
How We Teach
- Micro‑lessons: 8–12 minute skill blocks keep attention high and wins frequent.
- Spaced practice: review cycles improve retention and reduce frustration.
- Dual‑coding: pairing visuals with sound/movement to deepen understanding.
- Family fit: routines you can run at home with minimal prep and clear checkpoints.
Team Philosophy
- Warm rigor: high expectations delivered with kindness.
- Coach the coach: we teach adults how to scaffold, not just kids how to perform.
- Evidence first: we iterate with data, not guesses.
- Every voice: child choice and reflection are built into sessions.
Our Teaching Framework
A simple 4-part loop we run weekly:
1. Map
Set a crisp goal with success examples and a short rubric.
2. Model
Show the skill with think‑alouds and immediate micro‑checks.
3. Practice
Short, varied reps with playful elements and timely prompts.
4. Reflect
Celebrate progress, note gaps, plan the next tiny step.
Our Principles
- Clarity: clear goals and transparent progress for every learner.
- Consistency: routines that lower cognitive load and increase confidence.
- Playfulness: joyful practice accelerates retention.
- Care: supportive guidance for children and families.
