At Fox Valley Virtual, we believe that the 4K year lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Our nurturing and engaging online 4K program provides a fun and welcoming introduction to the world of education, where little learners can explore, create, and grow in a safe and supportive environment.
A Typical Day in Our 4K Virtual Classroom:
- Morning Circle Time: Our day begins with a lively and interactive morning circle time, where students come together virtually to sing songs, recite rhymes, and engage in fun icebreaker activities. This welcoming routine fosters a sense of community and sets the stage for an exciting day of learning and discovery.
- Hands-On Learning Experiences: Our 4K students embark on a multi-sensory learning journey through a blend of live, synchronous lessons and independent activities. They explore early literacy and numeracy concepts through songs, stories, games, and hands-on projects that incorporate play dough, cutting, coloring, and other fine motor skills activities.
- Thematic Units: Our curriculum is organized around engaging monthly themes, such as apples, bears, snowflakes, and pumpkins. These thematic units provide a context for learning, allowing students to explore new concepts through relatable and exciting topics.
- Phonemic Awareness and Early Reading Skills: Building a strong foundation in phonemic awareness and early reading skills is a primary focus in our 4K program. Through interactive lessons, students learn to identify rhyming patterns, segment and blend sounds, and develop the essential skills needed for successful reading development.
- Math Exploration: Our math curriculum introduces students to essential concepts such as number sense, patterning, counting, shapes, and simple addition and subtraction. Hands-on materials and engaging activities make learning these foundational math skills an enjoyable and interactive experience.
- Play-Based Sessions: Our 4K program incorporates open-ended play sessions, where students can bring toys, engage in imaginative play, and develop crucial social and communication skills.
- Optional Field Trips and Enrichment Activities: To enhance the learning experience, our 4K students have the opportunity to participate in field trips and engaging enrichment activities. Last year, our students explored an apple orchard and the Heckrodt Wetland Reserve, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world and their community.

FVVS is absolutely wonderful. I have three children in the school and have only positive things to say. I love the flexibility the school offers and the staff is amazing. They give my kids the individual attention they need to ensure that what they are learning is being understood. They are communicative with me and work hard to create a positive learning environment. - FVVS Parent
