Our Kindergartener will be given the right beginning with our academic
Kindergarten course. Our strong phonics approach to reading
emphasizes short vowel and consonant sounds, sequencing,
auditory/visual discrimination, classifying, and rhyming. Math
studies will bring an understanding of basic addition and
subtraction.
Number ideas from 1 to 31 are explored, as are
shapes, problem solving, and ordering numbers. Technology
application lessons and activities introduce keyboard and mouse
basics, as well as word processing and graphics applications.
Lessons in science, poetry, history, geography, and art introduce
age-appropriate topics to give your child a solid foundation. This
well-rounded program maintains high expectations without losing
its Kindergarten flavor, with lots of music, arts and crafts, and
learning games.
