Our Junior Kindergarten is an enriched curriculum designed to meet the individual learning needs of every child.
This kindergarten readiness program includes all the components of our pre-kindergarten, but has added an innovative and exciting social competency program with lessons targeted to help students grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We focus on the development of the child’s literacy and math skills. Social skills and independence are fostered through daily play in the classroom’s library, housekeeping, art, blocks, writing, science, and computer centers.
Our degreed teachers use research-based curriculum and teaching methods in the classroom. Children are surrounded with stories, books, letters, music, and rhymes through Story Stretchers, our primary literacy curriculum source. Through dictation, students see the power of their own words as the basis of learning to read and write. Math concepts are integrated into the child’s activities throughout the day in the Math Their Way Program, where children learn math skills with a variety of manipulative learning tools.
