KINDERGARTEN

Our Kindergarten Department (ages 3-5)  is the cornerstone of our Academy as it provides a firm foundation to build a rich educational journey.  Habit training, social, emotional, and spiritual development are established as we create a positively memorable learning experience that will lend much success in the years ahead.

In our Kindergarten classes, students will engage in age-appropriate activities and learning experiences that will build their self-esteem and confidence while reminding them that they are specially created by God. Our loving and well-trained teachers offer an environment where students learn to read, write, count and express themselves in a confident manner.

Each week’s lessons and play sessions are based on specific themes.

Our Biblically based program provides the groundwork for the Kindergarten experience and consists of:

  • Reasoning Skills
  • Social Studies
  • Fine Arts (inclusive of visual music and drama)
  • Physical Education (games and sports, gross and fine motor skills)
  • Music and Spanish
  • Learning Centers
  • Circle Time
  • Small and Whole groups
  • Story times
  • Language Enrichment
  • Skills Development
  • Core subjects
    • Bible
    • Arithmetic
    • Penmanship
    • Science
    • Phonics
  • Indoor and outdoor Playtime

Students enjoy participating in special days such as:

  • Person of the Week – Parents visit the classrooms on a weekly basis and spend time reading, demonstrating a dance, or teaching crafts to the entire class
  • China Day (complete with food and dance)
  • England Day (complete with high tea, top hats and gloves)
  • Field Trips to Ardastra Gardens, Atlantis,
  • Community Helpers also visit the campus and provide hands-on experiences for the children

The teacher and parent partnership is key to the student’s development and success.  A sound education, consisting of direct instruction, self-discovery, seat work, and practice, social interaction and group work, homework and oral presentation is our mandate. We look forward to our students successfully completing the kindergarten program, participating in a K5 Promotion Ceremony in June, and moving on to grade one.
