Welcome to Kindergarten at the Center! Students will enjoy a thematic, integrated curriculum full of music and movement, hands-on activities, and interactive games. Our small classes provide a wonderful caring environment where students can learn together.

By the end of the year, your child will be able to read simple texts using their knowledge of phonics, high-frequency words, and reading strategies. We will start the year with letter sounds and formation and progress into building words and writing simple sentences. They will learn to count and compare numbers to 100 and solve addition and subtraction problems within 10. Your child will identify and create patterns, recognize shapes, graph simple data.

You’ll have guidance and checkpoints all along the way as we work together to teach your child the foundations of reading and math. Each student will have a take-home binder that will facilitate learning between the Center and your school at home. We will provide clear goals, structured activities, frequent assessments, and consistent communication. Children will have math & literacy homework of roughly 90 minutes per week (30 minutes for each day not in class) sent home weekly.

The kindergarten curriculum has been custom built by our dedicated and experienced teachers to keep students on track with milestones while also allowing for pacing that fits the needs of the individual. Before classes begin, parents are required to attend an orientation where the teacher will provide the scope and sequence for the year, details on-at-home learning and answer parent questions.

Students will need to bring a backpack, water bottle, and snack to class each day. They will need to dress comfortably for outside playtime. We are so excited to work together as a team to encourage, challenge, and empower your student on their learning journey!
