Kindergarten is an all-day program. It is a nurturing and challenging environment for our beginning students who begin and end their day in prayer along with weekly masses. The curriculum includes religion, reading, writing, math, social studies, science, art, computer lab, music, library and physical education. Students are given the opportunity to learn, make mistakes, and succeed, knowing they are capable of great things!
