Kindergarten Curricula

Kindergarten readiness becomes a critical, determining factor of future scholastic achievement. Developmental readiness includes emotional, social, and physical components as well as cognitive abilities. Chronological age plays a part in readiness. In general, children who start kindergarten as older members of the group have a greater likelihood of finding success and enjoyment in their daily tasks. The curriculum of our kindergarten program is based on California’s developmentally appropriate content standards. We purposefully want to “leave no child behind.”

Morning
The morning instruction consists of all of the subject areas and skills development needed for first grade readiness: reading, math, social studies and science, religion, music, art, fine and large motor skills, listening, speaking, handwriting, staying on task, and working and playing appropriately with peers.

Afternoon
The afternoon program reinforces many of the skills taught in the morning, focusing less on academics and more on motor skills and social interaction. The schedule includes lunch, outdoor play activities, story time, quiet time, learning centers for reading, computer, manipulatives, art, music, and educational games.
