K3Three year olds are busy discovering the world and their place in it. K3 curriculum is designed around themes that lay a foundation for each child to develop language, math, reading, and writing skills. Students will be introduced to phonics, colors, spatial concepts and patterns, books, finger plays, songs, and Bible stories. Students will develop gross and fine motor skills while learning socialization skills in whole group play. K3 is a developmentally appropriate preparatory class for K4.

K4Students in K4 focus on developing age-appropriate social and classroom skills. Instruction includes, but is not limited to, upper and lower case identification of letters, beginning sounds, numerals 1-20, classification of sets and parts of a set, shapes, colors, patterns, ordinal numbers, seasons, weather, community, and familial relationships. Basic printing, art instruction, and physical education develop fine and gross motor skills. Music appreciation is encouraged as students learn to sing more than 30 new songs and practice rhythmic movements with instruments and actions.

K5At age 5, students participate in a traditional kindergarten curriculum designed to prepare them for entering first grade the following year. Students demonstrate phonetic understanding through the identification and discrimination of initial, medial, and final sounds, apply phonetic understanding to decode words, read sight words, and compose simple sentences using D’Nealian print. Mathematical instruction includes, oral counting to 100, identification of numbers to 100, skip counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s, solving of basic addition and subtraction problems, telling time to the hour, and naming and describing common geometric shapes and objects. Students will also classify animals and recognize the differences between living and non-living creatures, name the parts of a plant and describe how a plant grows, name and describe community helpers and their jobs, and participate in physical education. Musical expression is encouraged through the use of songs and rhythm within the classroom.
