Kidemics: Senior Kindergarten Program
Ages 5-6
Our innovative and comprehensive Kidemics program ensures that the essential early learning skills and developmental milestones gained in the preschool years are continually reinforced, practiced, enriched, and extended each day. Through our ateliers, children experience a unique and consistent learning environment where in-depth understanding is fostered through educational exploration and creative, play-based experimentation in both academics and the arts.
By nurturing higher-order thinking skills, supporting both right- and left-brain development, and drawing on Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory, we help children build a strong foundation for success in school and in life. Guided by a qualified elementary educator, our enriched kindergarten curriculum emphasizes reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, history, culture, and social studies through an integrated arts approach, along with STEM projects, sports, and outdoor stewardship.
Kinders may attend full-day programs two, three, or five days per week. Our aesthetically designed classrooms further support each child’s learning and development, serving as an effective “third teacher” in their educational journey.
