Students
in kindergarten receive grades of 3,
2, 1 in the areas of academic, social,
emotional, and physical development.
The kindergarten curriculum provides a balanced program
that addresses the social, emotional, physical, and
academic development of each child. Through processes of
exploration, discovery, and invention, our kindergarten
children develop the concepts, skills, and attitudes
necessary for continued success in school. |
