Primary Program

• Ages 3-6 years (includes kindergarten)

HOURS: 9:00-3:00 (Kindergartners)
3-4 Year Olds: Morning & Full Day Classes (3 or 5 days per week)
Primary classes cultivate the 3 through 6 year old child’s natural desire and ability to learn. These “learning communities” emphasize cooperation and peaceful conflict resolution. They help children grow in confidence and competence, engaged in exciting hands-on activities designed to develop their powers of observation, physical coordination, concentration, and organization. They will “grow into” the core academic subjects of language arts, mathematics, science, and geography. A 12 to 1 student/teacher ratio in Primary allows the teacher to rely on her close observations of each student’s progress to determine which new materials may be introduced.

Kindergartners attend full day sessions each day, with “specials” classes in music, art, physical education, and foreign language given in the afternoon. Options for 3 and 4 year-olds include morning and full day classes, either 3 or 5 days per week.
