Kindergarten Curriculum
The full-day kindergarten classroom is a busy and joyful place. As experts in early childhood education, our faculty have designed a developmentally based curriculum that emphasizes a balance of creative play and foundational learning. Children extend their time on task and continue to solidify academic and social skills. Activities and materials provide many opportunities to learn about (and from) the world, to organize information, and to solve problems. Students practice working cooperatively with others, communicating their needs and ideas, and becoming valued members and contributors to the community.

Math
A primary goal of the kindergarten math curriculum is the development of number sense and recognizing the significance of numbers. Centers, games, and activities help students internalize mathematical concepts in an interactive approach. Among other skills, students develop one-to-one correspondence, count forward and backward, recognize patterns and shapes, and are exposed to the operations of addition and subtraction.

Science
Kindergarten students raise caterpillars into butterflies, hatch chicks, and observe the campus garden as they explore the natural world. They apply the scientific skills of observing, predicting, and analyzing as they seek to make sense of their world.
