Curriculum

Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten

Our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes provide your child with activities that meet his or her academic and social needs. Pre-reading and pre-math skills are taught to provide a meaningful introduction to the elementary years.

Mathematics focuses on computation skills, mathematical operations, and problem solving. It is taught with the use of manipulatives and related to everyday math through drill, practice, and imaginative projects.

Social studies classes develop the concept of family and community. Within the context of American traditions, an appreciation and understanding of other cultures is explored.
