Join us for Back to School Night as we explore our kindergarten program! We’ll discuss essential early childhood education topics, including our daily schedule, math and language arts curriculum, reading activities, and our science and social studies topics. Learn about the integral role of volunteers, report card assessments, and how to stay involved. Communication is key—don’t hesitate to reach out via note, email, or voicemail. We look forward to another exciting year of learning and growth together!
