German Offered to all kids. Talented & Gifted Program for those who
qualify.
Kindergarten is an exciting time of exploration for your child. As their
motor coordination increases, so too will their sense of independence,
self-reliance, and self-confidence. As the year progresses, they will be
expected to work and complete assignments independently, accept more
responsibilities, and follow rules more closely.
Our Kindergarten Curriculum is a complete phonics-based reading and language
arts program that integrates social studies, science, and technology. The
program was designed to help children see themselves as successful learners.
Motivation is the underlying objective for each component of the curriculum,
which allows each child to develop at their own pace.
