Fives / Kindergarten Readiness
Our Kindergarten Readiness Program is the capstone of our early education curriculum, designed for children who will enter kindergarten the following year. We focus on phonics-based reading, writing skills, STEM inquiry, and mathematical thinking. Children develop the confidence, independence, and social-emotional maturity needed for a successful transition to elementary school.
