Our kindergarten program encourages learning in a warm, nurturing atmosphere with hands-on activities that include art, music, storytelling, science, math, a weekly yoga class, as well as reading and writing. These experiences take place during small group activities, learning centers and at morning meeting. Self-expression and creativity are enhanced daily through classroom projects, imaginative play and self art.
