The Kindergarten curriculum is designed to keep pace with children's cognitive, social, and physical skills which are developing at a tremendous rate. Through daily discussions and in-depth study we nurture and stimulate that growth, while encouraging self-confidence, enthusiasm for learning, and a respect for others.

Literacy:
Kindergartners are introduced to and encouraged to read a variety of short, predictable books and poems that enable them to experience the joy of being fluent readers; they supplement classroom reading with library books they take home. Notably, each week Kindergartners also write their own books, developing a tangible appreciation for the power of the written word.

Mathematics:
Kindergartners explore math manipulatives through independent and guided activities, learning basic concepts such as patterns, sorting, classifying, and counting.

Science:
Investigating topics as diverse as butterflies and inventions, Kindergartners are encouraged to make guesses and test hypotheses as they journey from novice to expert.

Social Development:
As the oldest students, Kindergartens enjoy privileges, such as checking books out of the Library. They have individual responsibilities, such as taking school attendance. Most importantly, they are mentors to the younger children, even reading to them. This distinctive position is a source of tremendous pride - and a foundation for self-assurance that will accompany them to their next school
