Parents discussed topics of interests and concern and also learned how to encourage the development of their children through variety activities. Five of the six parents completing the final evaluation form said they felt their child was prepared for kindergarten and the sixth said that the child was somewhat prepared. Five said they felt better prepared to assist their child in school. My child has learned a lot about losing his shyness, sharing with other children, about colors, and the ABC's. Each Voyager Program is a combination of advanced subject matter and activity based learning that is child centered.
All lessons are highly participatory.
Each program has a technology component. For example, Ice Age students learned how to use the Internet to conduct research and gather data. 1st graders explored the wonders of the human body in the Pre-Med Program. 2nd graders research the origin of the Ice Age and how it affects our lives today. The 3rd graders focused on improving their math skills as they crisscrossed the Western Hemisphere by plane, train, horseback, and by foot from the tip of South America to Alaska.
