Kindergarten Philosophy
Kindergarten is a carefully planned program based on the knowledge of children’s growth and development.  The program provides informal learning experiences to help develop the unique potential of each child’s readiness for the various school subjects.

Basic features that the program provides are:
     -An opportunity for your child to become aware of his or her self dignity.
     -An opportunity for your child to develop a feeling of self worth and adequacy.
     -A teacher who is friendly, accepting, understanding, and sensitive to your child’s needs.
     -A teacher who evaluates the creative effort of your child in terms of what it has done for the student.
     -A well-arranged environment that invites exploration in different activity centers with a variety of materials and media.
     -A variety of activities which provide children with the opportunity of doing things at which they can succeed. 
 
Early Identification Program
In October of each school year, each child will participate in an early identification program that includes:
  1. Hearing Screening
