Why Choose a Private Kindergarten Program?
Curriculum Highlights
Nationally Recognized Curriculum for Foundational Skills
The core of our private kindergarten program is an innovative curriculum that emphasizes the development of foundational skills in key learning areas. Our instructional model is thoughtfully designed to foster intellectual growth while promoting social and emotional development.
Language Arts
Our language arts curriculum helps children develop strong literacy skills through a variety of activities, including reading, writing, and phonics. Students engage in daily reading exercises, storytelling, and early writing workshops, all of which help them build a solid foundation in communication and comprehension.
Mathematics
In our math curriculum, students are introduced to basic numeracy concepts such as counting, addition, subtraction, and recognizing shapes and patterns. Our approach to math is hands-on and interactive, allowing children to explore mathematical concepts in a way that’s both engaging and fun.
Social Studies
Through our social studies curriculum, children learn about their community, different cultures, and the world around them. Lessons in geography, history, and civics help students develop an understanding of their role in society and foster a sense of global awareness.
Science
Our science curriculum encourages curiosity and critical thinking by introducing students to basic scientific concepts such as the natural world, weather, and simple physics. Through experiments and hands-on activities, children learn to observe, ask questions, and make discoveries about how things work.
Self-Help and Social Skills
Children at our private kindergarten program learn to manage their emotions, interact positively with their peers, and develop independence in everyday tasks. These skills are essential for success both in school and in life.
Fostering Curiosity, Independence, and Critical Thinking
Our curriculum aims to foster curiosity by encouraging independent thinking and problem-solving, helping your child become a confident, capable learner ready to tackle new challenges. Whether exploring new math concepts or participating in a science experiment, children at Peace of Mind Childcare are always encouraged to ask questions and think critically.
