ALL ABOUT KINDERGARTEN
Kindergarten is a magical time in a child's life, and 5 is the most wonderful age!
It is a year of tremendous growth in lots of areas - more than almost any other stage of life.
In kindergarten, children learn to get along with others and be responsible for themselves.
They learn about school - how to behave and follow rules, how to get around,
what is expected. They learn about letters, numbers, colors, and shapes. They learn
how to read and write, how to add and subtract, how the world works (science)
and how people get along together (social studies). This is an important year in their little lives!
Our kindergarten program offers children developmentally-appropriate learning opportunities,
without pushing them beyond what they can handle. It provides them with group activities both
large and small, tasks to complete alone, time to work individually with a teacher or other children,
free choice center time, as well as a chance to recharge and refuel their
bodies during rest time, breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
Let the magical journey begin!
