Our Pre-Kindergarten program is designed to inspire our students to develop a love of learning and give them a running start in Junior-Kindergarten. Our exciting program integrates math, science, health, creative arts, SPANISH social studies, physical movement, early literacy, and social-emotional development, all under a framework of guided instruction and imaginative play. Throughout the year we construct a cooperative classroom environment which builds imagination and fuels motivation through the use of child-directed instruction, hands-on experiences and ownership of materials.
In Junior Kindergarten, we build on and strengthen skills gained in Pre-kindergarten. Activities are designed to improve your child’s literacy and cognition in areas such as vocabulary development and alphabet knowledge. Our Junior Kindergarten enhancement introduces your child to kindergarten concepts and experiences, with small-group instruction, extended seatwork and kindergarten-level instruction in literacy, math, and handwriting. Children learn through a variety of instruction including small group, whole group, music, thematic learning, and active play. In Junior Kindergarten we develop and nurture the whole child. We view emotional and social development as equally important as academic development.
