Private kindergarten program

Children learn to express themselves and explore the cultures around them through creative arts and music. Art media advances to clay, watercolors, sculpture, and texture. Music appreciation reveals a wide range of music from a variety of cultures, styles, and time periods. Music theory is explored through beat and patterns in rhythm, as well as changes in melody.

Health and nutrition become part of daily routines, while children learn more about human growth and parts of their bodies, muscles, vitamins, and the importance of exercise. Structured games teach teamwork, cooperation, and social skills.

Children begin learning how to use their breathing and bodies to relieve their stress, calm their minds, relax their nervous system, and release negative emotions while gaining independence and coping skills.

Reading comprehension is deepened by retelling stories in detail, exploring sentence structure, and introducing new styles of literature. The nationally recognized Handwriting Without Tears® method is used to develop writing skills starting with drawing, then journaling, and eventually writing stories.

STREAM learning integrates and intentionally creates opportunities to combine math and science concepts in engaging activities. Measuring, comparing, and estimating, along with compiling data and forming conclusions, advance children’s problem-solving, math, and science skills.

Children build confidence and self-esteem while also learning about their role as a citizen and developing empathy through philanthropic activity and volunteerism. Children study cultures and history from around the world.
