KINDERGARTEN

Language Arts

Our kindergarten language arts curriculum provides a balance of reading and writing readiness skills. Reading is taught through a variety of approaches that recognize students’ learning styles and introduce the structure and comprehension of increasingly complex text. Children are encouraged to write daily. At first their writing consists of primitive words with simple drawings. Later in the year, they progress to words string together to form more complex stories.

MATHEMATICS

EVS
