Basic Goals and Objectives of Kindergarten Program

The Kindergarten program is based on the beliefs that:

• Children develop through similar stages but at individual rates. For this reason the program is geared to meet children at various levels and abilities.
• Children are eager to learn and will benefit from working with their peers. They will learn through organized activities, purposeful play, and by cooperating with others.
• Parents are their child’s first teacher; a child’s success is dependent upon parental support.

The six main components of the Kindergarten Program are:

• Early Literacy
• Early Numeracy
• Personal and Social Responsibility
• Community and Environmental Awareness (Science & Social Studies)
• Physical Skills and Well-Being (Health & Phys. Ed.)
• Creative and Cultural Expression (Art, Music, & Drama)
