Private Kindergarten near San Ramon, CA

Kindergarten

At this age, children display an awareness of their thought processes and begin understanding how to make plans, execute those plans, and reflect on their results. Their self-confidence and management skills go hand-in-hand with their growing academic capabilities, leading to a meaningful year in preparation for elementary school. Your kindergartener will be immersed in the written word through stories, plays, daily journals, and technology projects. Trips to the class child-run market or restaurant bring math to life and science will come alive for them with hands-on experiments and projects.

Our teachers use engaging programs and activities that promote social, emotional, physical, cognitive, creative and character development so your child is prepared to take on elementary school and beyond.

Kindergarten

In Stratford’s kindergarten program, students tackle math, grammar, phonics, and reading in the morning, while afternoon sessions feature music, writing, Spanish, and science several times each week. Kindergarten students learn to explore subjects more deeply – allowing for greater understanding, more critical thinking, and analysis. Kindergarteners begin formal recitation to develop public speaking skills, and teachers use poetry, music, and reading aloud to promote students’ self-assurance in front of a group. While academically challenging, Stratford kindergarten classes embody the pillars of Stratford School spirit – joyful warmth, sparkling intelligence, and passionate commitment.

Elementary School

Our accelerated, sequential, and cross-disciplinary elementary curriculum builds upon the fundamentals that students learn during their Preschool years. In our Elementary program, we integrate critical thinking and collaborative projects so that students discover the value of both independent thinking and working together. We complement our academic instruction with a focus on developing every child’s potential through social, emotional, and personal character education to help each student become articulate and respectful. We inspire our students to ask big questions about the real world, we challenge them to think beyond our classroom walls, and we show them how to learn from these experiences.
