Kindergarten to 1st Grade: Building Foundations

Our curriculum combines interactive play-based learning with structured lessons, fostering curiosity and building essential skills in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Enrichment activities, such as sensory-based activities, art, and physical education, are seamlessly integrated to ensure a well-rounded development.
