Junior Kindergarten

The Junior Kindergarten Program is specifically for children turning 5 years old by December 31st and for children whose parents choose to give them the "gift of time" by completing another year of pre-kindergarten. Based on a 5 half day program, children have the opportunity to explore & strengthen skills in reading, writing & math. Curriculum is tailored to children's interests with different study groups, new projects, books & materials providing new learning opportunities. Curriculum will incorporate adult-guided & child-initiated experiences, play, physical activity & social interaction. Teachers will be able to respond to the unique interests, learning styles & developmental characteristics of each child as they transition into their kindergarten year. Our program & our teachers are guided by early learning standards that emphasize the concepts & skills appropriate to & important for the transitional kindergarten year.
