Kindergarten Level Curriculum
Designed around the interests of the young elementary child, the Kindergarten level program offers a consistent, dependable routine with large blocks of uninterrupted work time. The classroom schedule encourages the child’s spontaneous activity and fosters the development of the creative process, integrated personality, and a strong sense of self. The curriculum includes materials and encourages activities that promote practical life activities, sensory-motor experiences, literacy, language arts, numeracy, creative arts, science, and geography. Each activity or exercise in our curriculum is structured to provide purpose, procedure, closure, and opportunity for success.
