Early childhood education program
Beginning in August, the K4 program will be a full day program from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Having the children in a full day program will give them more time to develop their personal, academic, emotional, and social skills.
This program is specially designed to meet the needs of children at their level of development.
Thematic units are used to integrate the curriculum and provide students with an opportunity to explore and build foundations in all curricular subject areas.
Emphasis is placed on language arts, math, science and social studies. Children develop positive attitudes toward themselves, other children, their environment, and the learning process while learning basic educational skills needed for the following school years.
For more information, contact Dr. Dale Jenkins, school headmaster, at 288-9660.
