Kindergarten

Mrs. Christina Bouroudis (K-1) and Mrs. Kerri Ettinger (K-2)

 

Our Kindergarten program is designed to support the comprehensive development of each child—spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Through a structured and nurturing environment, students engage in daily, developmentally appropriate learning experiences across a range of subject areas, including literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, technology, the arts, health, and physical development. Emphasis is placed on cultivating foundational academic skills while encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. The program aims to foster a lifelong love of learning and to prepare students for continued academic success by recognizing and nurturing each child’s individual strengths and potential.

Early Literacy Team
 
As educators we are dedicated to the continued exploration of innovative teaching modalities to help inform our pedagogy in the humanities and literacy curricular. Students are offered the opportunity to read, write and explore various genres of literature to foster a love of reading and draw connections between subject and content areas. Recognizing that students in grades K to 3 are learning to read while students in grades 4 and above are reading to learn, faculty participate in a variety of professional development opportunities that promote phonetic awareness and continue to develop reading and writing across the curricula. These programs will aid in providing differentiated instruction for students at all levels of learning.
