Progressive Kindergarten Program
Our Progressive Kindergarten program is designed for families who are seeking a smooth transition into Kindergarten. Students in our Progressive Kindergarten are expected to be physically and academically prepared for the demands of a regular Kindergarten schedule.
Program Structure
1st Quarter: Monday, Wednesday, Friday – Full days
2nd Quarter (starting mid-October): Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – Full days
3rd & 4th Quarter (starting in January): Monday through Friday – Full-time schedule
Curriculum and Enrichment
Progressive Kindergarten follows the same curriculum as full-time Kindergarten. The main difference lies in the additional enrichment activities provided for full-time students to reinforce concepts taught on Progressive Kindergarten days. New material is introduced gradually in the beginning on only PK days, which will eventually become full-time by the second semester.
Benefits of Progressive Kindergarten
Flexibility: At the end of PK, you can decide if you would like to keep your child in Kindergarten for an additional year, or you can send them on to 1st grade. The foundational knowledge gained in PK provides a strong start for their first year of school.
Consistency: The curriculum concepts remain consistent to reinforce learning, but the teaching methods and materials may vary to keep students engaged.
