Kindergarten

In kindergarten, we are sparking and directing students curiosity and natural love of learning.  We focus on the development of social skills and begin to build strong readers and problem solvers. When our students leave kindergarten, we want them to believe in their ability to learn so they are ready to tackle any challenge that learning brings.
