Science – Kindergarten-age children are curious about the world all around them and how they fit into it. Our science programs allow them to explore and define their environment in a classroom setting with groups and as individuals.
Social Studies – Social studies study human societies, social relationships, geography, and much more. Students will work on concepts individually and in large and small groups with the guidance of state-licensed teachers and education staff.
Literacy – Literacy is crucial for kindergarten-aged students. Our curriculum includes reading and writing. They’ll continue to build on these concepts throughout the year and life. Literacy is crucial for applying critical thinking concepts.
Social-Emotional – One of the most critical and often overlooked aspects of kindergarten classrooms is developing social-emotional skills. Conflict resolutions, cooperation, building friendships, self-confidence, and many other social skills are learned in our classrooms. These skills are valuable inside and outside of the classroom.
Extra-Curricular – Our teachers organize other extra-curricular activities, including sports, field trips, nature studies, and class picnics. Studies have proven that children retain more knowledge when learning is fun and exciting, which is why we do our best to ensure your child is constantly engaged with plenty of learning activities in our secure, nurturing environment.
