Our Kindergarten program offers a unique classroom environment to start your child's academic journey. One of the best advantages is the personal attention your child will receive because of our small class sizes and private school environment. A few other things that set our kindergarten apart from other programs are:
· Half days are perfect for young bodies and minds · Optional transition kindergarten program gives you the option of really preparing your four or five year old with a late birthday for the skills they need to be ready for kindergarten · Special programs offered: Spanish, Art, Kindermusic, and Summer Programs · Positive, nurturing environment with educators that love what they are doing and where they are · Small class sizes · Greater opportunities for creative experiences and more personalized field trips than public school can offer. · Concepts taught through creative learning methods to meet the academic needs of children while making learning fun and natural. · We are not a worksheet driven facility and are committed to teaching children in creative, fun ways that inspire and motivate children to learn and retain the information. · We provide weekly newsletters of upcoming objectives and activities.
