Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten
Age 5
The TK and Kindergarten level is designed to help children excel in Kindergarten during this transitional period when they are awaiting enrollment into Elementary School. We create small class settings that allow for exploration, creativity, imagination and communication within a structured curriculum that focuses on the core educational subjects. We encompass an educational path that:
-
Teaches scientific experimentation and investigative learning skills
-
Small group reading skills where children are encouraged to read aloud and develop their writing skills
-
Probe thought provoking questions and allow for curious debate that enhances group communication skills
-
Provide age appropriate lesson plans in life sciences, physical sciences, art and history
-
Encourage learning about similarities and differences through cultural awareness and diversity
