Junior Kindergarten

If you feel your child isn’t quite old enough to start kindergarten or might need additional skill development before getting into a school setting, Junior Kindergarten is the path for them.

Your child will become familiar with the structure and format of a day in kindergarten while developing critical skills needed for elementary school, such as:

• Following multi-step instructions
• Organizing work
• Controlling impulses
• Sustaining attention
• Finding multiple ways to solve problems

In this classroom, learning is driven by the needs of the young five-year-old; the pace of study is set by the specific strengths and readiness of these students. Junior Kindergarten focuses on:

• Word building and decoding
• Reading and writing common sight words
• Comprehending stories and informational texts
• Writing stories and ideas
• Counting up and back, and by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s
• Adding and subtracting
• Understanding fractions

Throughout the year, learning progress and readiness reports keep you well-informed every step of the way during your child’s ongoing journey along our School Readiness Pathway.

Note: Children must complete Pre-K prior to enrollment.
