Kindergarten

In Kindergarten, we continue to focus on the multiple aspects of students’ learning and growth — social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative. Our teachers nurture students’ love of learning, encourage their growing independence and sense of responsibility, and help them refine their concentration and their ability to follow through on commitments.

The Kindergarten curriculum evolves from students’ needs, interests, and imagination. Hands-on experiences are the heart of all learning. Our Kindergartners enjoy regular opportunities for exploring and experimenting with a vast array of interesting and challenging materials, both indoors and outside. Concrete materials help students to explore logical reasoning, math relationships, and patterns and to build creations that expand spatial perceptions. We foster the beginning skills of reading and writing through the writing of notes and stories, exposure to the richness of literature, and the introduction of letters and their corresponding sounds. The outside environment extends the learning and socialization that occur indoors.
