Jr. Kindergarten

Jr. Kindergarten was begun to meet the needs of the older 4 year old and those children who could go to Kindergarten but parents are giving them the gift of another year to grow and mature. We recognize that children best learn through play so our curriculum is developmental and hands on. We are flexible. If we see the children have another interest, we will change our curriculum to meet those needs. Our day includes Jesus time, art, story time, music, ABC/discovery, math, choice time, snack and outside play.
Some of our themes include:

ABC/Discovery	Alphabet letters, bears, ocean/water (sinking & floating), night time & bats, families, winter, animals, space, healthy hearts, homes, weather, dinosaurs, insects, transportation, gardens & seeds.
Math	Patterns, colors & shapes, sorting, sets, weighing & measuring, classifying, 1 to 1 correspondence, rote counting, size discrimination, linear measurement, simple fractions.
