Our four-year-old program is the perfect environment socially, emotionally and academically to get ready for Kindergarten. The reflection on kindergarten readiness can not only be seen in our academic standards but also in our focus on a student’s development of social/emotional preparedness. With direction students develop an age appropriate understanding of group cooperation and function. By integrating problem solving, self-help, critical thinking and empathy students begin to see not only their self but their peers in a new light.
