Kindergarten

Enrollment:

Parents must provide a birth certificate and current immunization records proior to attending school.

Gesell Screening may be conducted on students entering kindergarten.  The purpose of this screening is to determine a student’s developmental stage, which will serve as a useful tool for the teacher.

Curriculum:

Our kindergarten is a Christ-centered program focused on the academics needed for elementary success.  Language arts instruction includes reading readiness, phonics, handwriting, etc.  Math skills are developed using the hands-on Saxon Math program.  A variety of hands-on learning experiences, reading, and discussion groups promote science and social studies curriculums.

Each day includes sharing our love for the Lord through Bible stories, prayer, music and devotions.

Half day students will receive instruction in core curriculum subjects.  Students attend music class, Kinetic Kids, library, art, and chapel each week.  Full day students will experience opportunities for enrichment, reinforcement, computer instruction, and creative expression in addition to the core curriculum subjects. Field trips are used to enhance the curriculum.
