School-Age Childcare Program

Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten program fosters a strong foundation for academic and personal growth through engaging, hands-on learning across core subjects. Language Development emphasizes verbal communication, story sequencing, rhyming, and participation in discussions, helping students build confidence in speaking and storytelling. Reading Readiness focuses on the relationship between spoken and written words, letter-sound association, sight word recognition, and simple word-building, with opportunities to compose and illustrate stories. In Mathematics, children develop problem-solving and reasoning skills, learn number concepts, explore basic fractions, and understand the value of money. Science introduces the scientific method, concepts of time and weather, and methods of measurement, fostering curiosity about the world and the solar system. With advanced technology like Smart Boards, Smart Tables, and a S.T.E.A.M. room, our program enhances learning through interactive tools, preparing students for future success.
