We believe Kindergarten is an important year of transition between our play-based Preschool and our exciting Elementary school. Our full day program allows the children plenty of time to work and play, rest and move their bodies, engage with peers and build community with the rest of the school.

Children develop into beginning writers through a rich literacy program that helps them learn letters and match sounds and encourages them to utilize an authentic writing process. Children become beginning readers with engaging individualized, small and whole group instruction. In math, our children learn about number concepts, geometry, logical thinking, measurement, and graphing all through the use of manipulatives and with a problem solving approach. Our social studies curriculum includes conflict mediation, multicultural studies and community building. In science, the children are asked to observe, predict, experiment and conclude around a wide variety of interesting topics.

Children spend an important piece of each day involved in play. The make-believe area, water/sensory table, art area, block area, storytelling table, book corner, cooking, woodworking area and others, are places for children to practice what they are learning, develop social skills, and develop cognitively by engaging with stimulating materials. Overall, children are treated with respect and learn to respect themselves and others in this safe, stimulating and fun environment.
