Philosophy
The success of a child’s learning is determined in the foundational learning opportunities. At Nativity BVM School the kindergarten teachers offer warm and responsive relationships as they integrate knowledge with skills and concepts needed to make progress academically and socially. The teachers create a learning environment that stimulates and engages the child’s curiosity.
Curriculum
A major emphasis of the Kindergarten program is to build a strong foundation in language and communication skills. We engage young learners in thinking, reasoning, and communicating. Frequent assessments not only give a clear profile of student achievement but also assist the teachers in planning and instruction.
