What to expect in kindergarten:
- Education which inspires creativity and wonder. Teachers make learning engaging and foster curiosity.
- Your child will be known and loved by their teacher. They will encourage your child to do their best — not compared to others but what is possible for your child.
- Throughout each day, teachers intentionally remind your child to see themselves as deeply loved by God. They are encouraged bring that love to others.
