Kindergarten: Discovering God's Word and Academic Excellence
Nurturing Young Minds and Tender Hearts
Our unique program goes beyond traditional learning, weaving Biblical wisdom into every moment of the day. By year's end, our kindergartners don't just grow—they flourish!
Our students memorize 26 scripture verses from A to Z, building a strong spiritual foundation while developing a love for God's word. But we don't stop at spiritual growth—we ensure every child is academically prepared for success. Every student exits kindergarten reading confidently, with advanced math skills that include telling time, counting money, adding, subtracting, and writing numbers to 100 by ones, tens, and fives.
More than just a classroom, we're a loving community where children discover their potential, learn God's love, and build a strong academic foundation that will serve them for years to come. Join us in planting seeds of faith and knowledge that will grow a lifetime of learning!
