A Day in the Life of Kindergarten

Kindergarten begins their day by meeting together to build social and math skills like time, money, calendar, and patterns.  Throughout the day, you might see them reading together out of the Book of Children’s Treasury, using letter tiles to build words, or learning about an artist or art style that coordinates with the letter of the week; like Seurat and pointillism.  During the year, they  journey to each continent – learning about the rain forest when they study South America and ”taking a backpacking trip” through Europe to learn about different countries and their historical landmarks.  You might even see them outside as they go on a nature hike to explore and sketch features of each season.  Kindergarten is filled with engaging and fun learning experiences!

We also offer an Extended Day option, which extends the care for the students until 2:45 or 3:15. See our information page for Kindergarten Extended Day.
