Early Childhood

Young children are encouraged to explore at their own pace, develop age appropriate levels of independence, and learn to cooperate with others. While engaged in activities that foster hands on, experiential learning, children develop critical thinking skills. The curriculum exemplifies our School Mission statement by creating a caring, nurturing, moral environment in which young children enjoy the secure relationships that support the development of resilience, self-regulation, and school readiness.

Kindergarten students begin working with a Balanced Literacy approach to Language Arts instruction, including word study, reading and writing. Math lessons provide the foundation for higher level thinking skills required in our First through Eighth Grades. Social Studies and Science activities develop an understanding of the world in which we work and play. Spanish instruction begins with our Kindergarten students.

Outdoor play, Art, Music, Library, Physical Education, and Chapel round out our Early Childhood program, fostering the social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual development of our students.
