Kindergarten

Upcoming Programs:

After School Stories are held each Wednesday, at 3:45.  The stories,activities and crafts are designed especially for students in grades K – 3.

Books to Share:

Reading to your child daily is the best way to prepare them for school.   As you read, encourage your child to react to the story, relate personal experiences to characters in the book and join in with sound effects and to complete predictable sentences.  Children learn through repetition so reading the story every night for a week is okay.  And above all else have fun.
