Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten program provides your child with a wealth of multi sensory, hands-on experiences and establishes the foundation needed to develop intellectual competencies and self-esteem. The curriculum is organized to provide a balanced program of readiness and developmental activities. By the end of the year, your child should have/know:
LANGUAGE ARTS
The Language Arts program encourages the integration of
listening, speaking, reading, writing, critical thinking and the
learning of language skills in meaningful context. Emphasis is on
the use of significant literary works, rather than texts and
workbooks, to provide instruction and promote love of language
for all students at all levels of ability. Oral reading is a part of the
curriculum.
SOCIAL STUDIES
The Social Studies program develops individual, social and
cultural awareness. It prepares students for responsible citizenship,
exposes them to cultural observances and celebrations, and allows
them to make the vital connection among past, present and future.

program. Kindergarten students develop scientific thinking
processes in:
- Observing (using the senses to get information)
