Private Kindergarten

Choosing the right private kindergarten environment for your child can be a formidable task as well as an emotional choice parents make to begin their child’s formal educational journey. At The Merit School, we have a platform that allows each child to be immersed in a positive and enriching environment. This positive space promotes a confident child self-image, encourages independence, and sets a specific educational path to meet academic goals based on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLS). Our private kindergarten curriculum places a heavy emphasis on reading and writing as well as incorporating math, science, social studies, and critical thinking skills. Interactive lessons are implemented through our promethean board, hands-on activities, and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math).
