We align our Kindergarten Program with the Oregon Department of Education standards. Teachers nurture students and give individualized attention through hands-on activities, interactive centers, and kid-centric learning stations. Group circle times also foster community building and social skills. Kindergarten teachers partner and design their curriculum so that all Kindergartners are prepared for first grade. Core curriculum is planned during weekly team meetings so that all students are equally exposed to content.

Chapel days are all about hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ! Once a week, our kindergarteners join our elementary students and spend time singing worship songs and listening to engaging speakers. Children will develop character, purposefully pray, and connect with their classmates during this special weekly meeting.
