Comprehensive Curriculum and Knowledge Areas

In the Junior Kindergarten classroom, your child spends their time gaining the necessary academic and social-emotional skills for kindergarten success. We provide a comprehensive curriculum, enabling students to gain skills and knowledge in these important subject areas: 

icon

Language & Literacy

These experiences include naming all the letters (upper- and lowercase) of the alphabet, correctly placing sounds in order, reading and writing short words, as well as additional experiences in early writing, reading, vocabulary, and communication.

Math

Through large and small group instruction, daily routines, and independent workstations, children learn important math concepts, such as numbers, sorting, ordering, and patterns. These concepts will be explored in a more in-depth way when they get to kindergarten.
