Our kindergarten enrichment program provides an opportunity for the kindergarten child to learn and practice social, emotional, problem-solving, and the skills to learn to study, which are skills your child will use throughout his/her educational journey. Our small 12:2 student/teacher ratio provides a more intimate home style setting for the kindergarten student. This enrichment program is structured to have 60 minutes of language art, 1/2 hour lunch & recess and 60 minutes of math. Students are grouped in 4 for our 2-rotation periods, with groups of 4:1 student/teacher ratio, making each child a priority and meeting his/her needs in the program. Our focus in this enrichment program is to build critical skills in reading and math's traditional benchmarks, without putting a lot of pressure on the child. We strive to create a love of learning environment all while maintaining California Educational Standards.​​

* Language Arts:
All About Learning Pre-Reading Program is perfect for kindergarten! It focuses on the five fundamental pre-reading skills: letter knowledge, phonological awareness, print awareness, listening comprehension, and motivation to read. It is this specific set of skills that helps pre-readers understand the basics of language and how it works, preparing them to learn to read.
With the All About Reading Pre-Reading Program, your child will play special games, enjoy interesting crafts, and engage in charming story-time activities, all the while absorbing important pre-reading skills. Some students will master pre-reading and move on to level 1. The goal is to take the struggle out of reading and spelling—for you and your student. These comprehensive programs, All About Reading and All About Spelling, are easy to teach and easy to learn.
