Kindergarten Curriculum

Hard copies of Kindergarten Curriculum are available in the Director’s office.

The curriculum for the Kindergarten classes endeavors to foster learning in a Christian atmosphere. All areas of intellectual development, social behavior, emotional balance, physical skills and Christian values are addressed through a thematic, age appropriate, readiness program. The children experience formal and informal teaching, teacher directed activities, and free play.

The K5 program focuses on reading readiness with an emphasis on discrimination, perception skills, and language skills.

Phonics and handwriting are stressed through the Sing, Spell, Read and Write materials.

Math is taught through hands-on approach to teaching number concepts. It gives the child a concrete understanding of numbers and of comparative relationships. Practice is also done in writing the numerals.

Science, health and social studies are incorporated through the themes developed for each week’s unit.

Music and art are incorporated into each unit of study.

Socialization is addressed through outside play time and informal classroom experiences.

Bible stories and verses, Christian principles and a weekly chapel are a part of the plans.

Each child’s skills are evaluated in the winter and conferences are held with parents to discuss their progress. Additional conferences are also held, as needed.
