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.
