Kindergarten

Your Child’s First Step in Formal Education

Kindergarten is a pivotal year in your child's education and development.

It’s a time when the seeds of academic interest, social skills, and Christian values are sown. It’s also the year when children begin to build the foundations of beginner reading, writing, and math.

Our Kindergarten program is designed to lay a strong groundwork in both academics and character, tailored to meet the unique needs of young (and energetic!) learners. With a focus on individual attention and a nurturing environment, we ensure that each child is known, valued, and loved, setting the stage for a lifelong love of learning and growth.
