Children learn to know and love God and the wonderful gifts He has given them as unique and special individuals. The three and four year old children develop listening and thinking skills and the ability to follow directions through individual and group activities in math, language arts and science. Art, music and movement activities encourage creativity and imagination while developing gross and fine motor skills.
Kindergarten students are welcomed into God's family through the celebration of their own Baptism. The religion curriculum emphasizes showing respect for God, and the world He gave us as well as the people in it. Throughout the year children learn Bible stories from Bible readings, videotapes and related art projects. Students recreate the Nativity story and the Last Supper.
The language arts program stresses sound and letter recognition, literature and critical thinking. In Kindergarten the students are introduced to parts of speech, capitalization, punctuation and spelling. Math develops number recognition, introduction to time and money, as well as strengthening patterning, sorting and geometric recognition skills. Addition and subtraction skills are introduced mid-year and are practiced in many areas across the curriculum. Science and social studies concepts are incorporated into the daily routine and literature units. Students are taught to take pride in our country by saluting the flag and singing patriotic songs. They are encouraged to learn and care about our environment, as well as discuss seasonal weather concepts throughout the curriculum. Students are encouraged to work cooperatively and independently. The kindergarten completes the year with a ceremony incorporating a selection of poems and songs learned throughout the year.
