ABOUT CATERPILLARS
Age: 3 years old (before September 1)
Student/Teacher Ratio: 7:1
It is our hope that we can develop in each child a positive self-image and a love of learning! We want to make learning fun and exciting while developing the child as a whole individual. Caterpillars will be introduced to letters, numbers, colors, and shapes through a variety of experiences. They will gain understanding of sharing, listening, being respectful, and making friends. All of these experiences are enjoyed with a new, interactive weekly theme.
ABOUT BUTTERFLIES
Age: 4 years old (before October 31)
Student/Teacher Ratio: 8:1
We strive to make each child’s social and emotional growth a positive one through various activities and experiences. Children are encouraged to explore who they are and their place in our world. They feel valuable as a member of a small group but also as a part of a larger community. The “Handwriting without Tears” curriculum is used to explore and develop handwriting skills. The weekly letter and theme are presented and explored using all senses. Butterflies attend class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Butterflies must be 4 by October 31 of the school year.

ABOUT KITES
Age: 5 years old
Student/Teacher Ratio: 9:1
Kites is our name for our transitional kindergarten, which is a class for children who are 5 years old yet need/want the gift of a year before starting Kindergarten. Kites serves as a bridge for children who need some extra time to fully develop their social, emotional, intellectual, or physical selves. We believe that this extra time can be essential to absorb and express ideas, learn more about friendships, assert independence, examine the world around them, develop coping skills, and hone the physical demands placed on today’s school children. By offering a calm, nurturing environment in which these children are challenged at their individual levels, they build the necessary components needed for future success in school. All teachers are certified.
ABOUT KINDERGARTEN
Age: 6 years old
Student/Teacher Ratio: 11:1
Our Kindergarten program is designed to provide an enriching curriculum that enables success in a Christian learning environment where each student can grow and develop into a unique individual. Fundamental skills are taught through the success-oriented Saxon Math and Saxon Phonics programs. Students develop a solid foundation for early reading, spelling, and math concepts. The “Handwriting without Tears” program is also taught daily to help students establish proper formation of letters and numbers. Centers, social studies, science, art, and music are integrated through themes, allowing students to foster creativity and knowledge. All teachers are certified. Students must be Kindergarten-ready for placement in this program, as determined by the Director.
