Program Details
Our full day play-based Kindergarten class meets 5 days a week, 8:30 am – 2:30 pm.
The kindergarten classroom transitions through many similar daily experiences as our preschoolers; but adds time for individual and group instruction in language arts (reading, writing, spelling, handwriting) and math during center time. Snack is both in the AM and PM and children bring their lunch daily with optional pizza fridays. Kindergarteners will also have movement and/or outdoor play several times during their school day. Specials such as art, music, gym, science and spanish are part of their school day. Because our kindergarteners are in school for a longer day, a midday rest time is also included in their daily schedule. Like our preschool program, classroom experiences are presented in a play based environment and include both child and teacher initiated experiences.
