Rather than just giving my child the answers to memorize, he is learning to solve problems. The STREAM activities in this kindergarten have helped him advance in so many different areas.”
Our Kindergarten Curriculum
Our teachers follow a detailed kindergarten curriculum that exceeds state educational requirements, bringing together the fundamentals of education into theme-based lessons that impact the whole child. While educating your child, our private kindergarten program reinforces important life skills such as communication, kindness, respect, honesty, and sharing. Through the Lightbridge Foundation, children also learn the importance of helping others in need.
- Creative Arts and Music: Children learn to express themselves and explore the cultures around them through creative arts and music. Art media advances to clay, watercolors, sculpture, and texture. Music appreciation reveals a wide range of music from a variety of cultures, styles, and time periods. Music theory is explored through beat and patterns in rhythm, as well as changes in melody.
- Physical and Well-Being: Health and nutrition become part of daily routines in which children learn more about human growth and parts of their bodies, muscles, vitamins, and the importance of exercise. Structured games not only teach teamwork and cooperation, but also provide the opportunity for lots of outside fun time!
- Yoga and Mindfulness: Children begin learning how to use their breathing and bodies to relieve their stress, calm their minds, and relax their nervous system. Accompanied by music, simple games, and at-home activities, this program also helps children to release negative emotions while gaining independence and coping skills.
- Language and Literacy: Reading comprehension is deepened by retelling stories in detail, exploring sentence structure, and introducing new styles of literature. The nationally recognized Handwriting Without Tears® is used to develop writing skills starting with drawing, then journaling and eventually writing stories.
- Mathematics and Science: STREAM learning integrates and intentionally creates opportunities to combine math and science concepts in engaging activities. Measuring, comparing, and estimating, along with compiling data and forming conclusions, advance children’s math and science skills.
- Social and Emotional Well-Being: Children build confidence and self-esteem while also learning about their role as a citizen and developing empathy through philanthropic activity and volunteerism. Children study cultures and history from around the world.
