What is Kindergarten?
Early Childhood Education Matters…
We use Harcourt’s STORYtown and Benchmark Advance to teach reading and writing skills; this systematic program has activities that meets the needs of students at all levels. It gives us the opportunity to work as a whole group, in small groups, and individually.
The math curriculum incorporates two programs. Math Their Way is an activity-centered, child-centered, manipulative math program in which the children learn through the five senses, providing many hands-on, concrete activities that teach math concepts.
Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley enVisionMath is the first program to develop math concepts through interactive and visual learning, using activities that are both hands-on and paper/pencil related.
… So Does Early Childhood Fun!
Singing, dancing, reading stories, and using imaginations – These are just some of the ways that we make sure our Kindergarteners have fun too. Each day brings new educational and exciting experiences!
