Ready for big school
Confident, curious & kindergarten-ready
KG-1 is our launchpad year. Children read simple books, write their ideas, solve math puzzles, and lead class jobs — all inside projects they choose, from building cardboard cities to staging puppet shows.
We partner closely with local elementary schools so the step up feels exciting, never scary, and every graduate leaves with a portfolio of their year.
What’s included
- Reading & writing — guided reading groups, journal writing, and a 100-book challenge.
- Math minds — addition games, shapes, measuring, and simple problem-solving.
- Project weeks — science, building, and performance projects led by the children.
- School readiness — elementary visits, classroom jobs, and graduation celebration.
KG-1 questions, answered
How do you prepare children for elementary school?
Through real practice: raising hands, packing their own bags, finishing tasks, and visits to partner classrooms — plus a readiness report for parents each term.
Is play still part of the day?
Absolutely. KG-1 protects long choice-time blocks daily, because deep play is where the deepest learning happens.
Can we see progress through the year?
Yes — two conferences, term portfolios, and a graduation showcase where children present their favorite project.
