Our two-year enriched academic kindergarten program prepares children for grade school success through structured literacy instruction, mathematics fundamentals, and STEM exploration. With a focus on reading readiness and critical thinking, students engage in Wiz-Tech challenges and Roots & Shoots environmental projects. The curriculum combines teacher-led instruction with hands-on Montessori materials to develop cognitive and social skills in a supportive learning environment.
