KINDERGARTEN

• Creative Arts & Music: Children learn to express themselves and explore the cultures around them through creative arts and music. Art media advances to clay, watercolors, sculpture, and texture. Music appreciation reveals a wide range of music from a variety of cultures, styles and time periods. Music theory is explored through beat and patterns in rhythm and changes in melody.
• Physical & Well Being: Health and nutrition become part of daily routines learning more about human growth and parts of their bodies, muscles, vitamins and importance of exercise.  Structured games, team work and cooperation become outside fun time!
• Language & Literacy: This time is critical for language, literacy and a love of reading. Reading comprehension is deepened by retelling stories in detail, exploring sentence structure and introducing new styles of literature. The nationally recognized Handwriting Without Tears® is used to develop writing skills starting with drawing, then journaling and eventually writing stories.
• Mathematics & Science: STREAM learning integrates and intentionally creates opportunities to combine math and science concepts in engaging activities. Measuring, comparing, estimating, along with compiling data and forming conclusions advance children's math and science skills.
• Social & Emotional: Children build confidence and self-esteem while also learning about their role as a citizen and developing empathy through philanthropic activity and volunteerism. Children study cultures and history from around the world.
