Junior Kindergarten

Your Junior Kindergartener will be taught by specially trained teachers using inquiry learning teaching methods. During small group instruction, teachers introduce subject matter specific content in literacy, math, science and social studies. Teachers guide students using inquiry-based learning techniques, so students not only understand the questions, but also, how they can find the answers, preparing your child for success in school. Your child will learn to use technology as a resource tool as he or she participates in problem solving activities reinforcing an understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). They will be exposed to Spanish as the language is incorporated throughout the day in songs and games to train the ear and the brain for additional language learning. Service learning and social studies projects will provide your child with an understanding of his or her community that will prepare your child to negotiate larger group and class sizes later experienced in the kindergarten classroom.
