At Kindergarten, we encourage children to wonder. For years, we have watched little miracles grow. It has always been our endeavor to create for every child, rich and challenging experiences to promote learning and growing.
In Kindergarten, your child will have many opportunities to learn, build skills, develop social relationships and become familiar with the routines of school. The Kindergarten program includes six learning areas: language, math, science and technology, personal and social development, health and physical activity and the arts.
Children will explore learning through reading, writing, drama, visual arts, science and physical activity. Self-regulation skills such as making choices, developing resilience and engaging in social interactions are also supported in the Kindergarten program. Students will work with materials such as sand, water, blocks and construction materials and will learn and practice positive character attributes, which support them in reaching their full potential.
Kids experience leaving home and family during the day. We want them to become a member & function as part of the group. It is important to us to teach them to get along with classmates, to take turns, and to respect the rights of others. Teachers work on developing a positive self-esteem and learn how to effectively communicate ideas to others.
We believe that children learn by doing. As such, our writing program uses each classroom center as an opportunity to teach the following writing skills: Writing Processes, Writing Applications, Writing Conventions and Research. Each of these standards are accentuated daily as repetition breeds understanding.
Our reading programs use several methods that deliver a multitude of reading tools to enhance learning. Phonics, Word Recognition, Vocabulary, Concepts of Print and collecting data to answer questions, solve problems and make predictions are some of the techniques used to maximize the curriculum.
Basic counting to Geometry and Data Analysis are introduced at this level. Numbers, Number Sense, Measurement, Spatial Sense, Patterns, Functions and Algebra, Probability and Mathematical Processes such as problem-solving and reasoning skills are also pioneered. We have found that bringing enrichment programs to the school have become indispensable to our curriculum.
Our Social Studies program enlightens the children through the use of History, People in Societies, Geography, Economics, and Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities.
We have monthly programs that highlight: Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Science and Technology, Scientific Inquiry and Earth and Space Sciences. Understanding the world around us becomes essential in Kindergarten
