Kindergarten

Our emphasis in Kindergarten is to provide a smooth transition for your child to make new friends and adjust to the many school rules and routines. We strive to give your child a sense of belonging and worth, and to structure a well-rounded program designed to meet the individual needs of each student. Here in our Kindergarten Website, you will find many links to activities that you and your child can participate in together. We believe that the quality of a child’s education is greatly enhanced by a strong partnership among students, teachers and parents. We look forward to another exciting year in Kindergarten!
