LLD-K
Our kindergarten program features a developmentally appropriate approach to learning and an intense emphasis on activities that promote early literacy. The curriculum is organized and integrated around themes and focuses on the wide use of language, speaking and the early stages of the writing process. The use of Big Books and many hands-on science and math activities incorporate the fine arts to provide a balanced and enriching program.
