Our Kindergarten is a multi-sensory learning experience that focuses on all academic areas.  Learning centers change weekly to correlate with the theme and/or letter of the week being studied.  Our emphasis is on pre-reading and reading skills that progress with the ability of the students in the class.  Many things contribute to our strong language program: lots of dictated story re-readings, a print rich classroom, leveled books, and a firm and fun phonics program enhanced by "The Letter People." Students also begin study in mathematics, social studies, science, and Religion. The children participate in computer, physical education, library, music and art each week, taught by teachers certified in those areas.

Kindergarten begins after Labor Day and ends the third week of May.
