Three Day Kindergarten
Since August 2017, we have been offering a 3 Day Kindergarten (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 8:30am-2:00pm). The 3-Day K is open to anyone who has reached their 5th birthday by September 1st.
We have a few spots for children who will be 5 after September 1st with the understanding that they will spend 2 years in Kindergarten.

Our kindergarten program moves rapidly through various subjects for a short time each morning. In this way, children are able to engage at the rate of their attention span maximizing both learning and love for learning. The rest of our day is spent in intentional forms of play and exploring. Below is a list of attainments for a kindergartner that guide our 3-Day K curriculum.
