Every day in Kindergarten we share the great truths of God's Word and learning our salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ. God's love is shared with each child through participation in class Bible study and Chapel. We learn many wonderful Bible stories along with the 10 Commandments, Lord's Prayer, Apostle's Creed, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper.

We also grow and learn through Language Arts. This is an essential part of the Kindergarten day where we learn many pre-reading skills that will build on your child's foundation to help with reading later in the year. In addition to reading we focus on concepts in rhyming, counting, listening skills, phonics, handwriting, and journaling.
Math is another subject that is important. The curriculum that is used is hands-on. This gives the student confidence in what is learned. Some of the many concepts students learn about are counting, writing numbers, shapes, graphing, money, tangrams, creating designs, telling time, and patterns.

We also learn about our world through early Geography skills. We begin by learning about what a map is and how it can help you. We go all the way through to learning about all of the seven continents and what is unique about each one.

Science is a fun part of the Kindergarten day. We learn to experiment with many great things about our world. Some of the great subjects we learn about are balancing, magnets, nutrition, leaves, our bodies (muscles, heart, etc.), weather, and seasons.
A fun part of the day is center time. This is a free time where the Kindergartener can express himself/herself through art, games, puzzles, building blocks, manipulatives, reading, and drama. The other half of this is that the Kindergartener is able to be expressive socially, emotionally, and physically.

The specials programs that are offered in Kindergarten are Music, P.E., Art, Library, and Spanish.
