Philosophy: St. Paul’s Kindergarten program is committed to
teaching the whole child. The philosophy is to provide
intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth experiences
so that a child can develop a positive self-concept and enjoy
learning. This program builds on the foundation established in
Pre-Kindergarten and the children's home experiences. The
program instills increased responsibility and independent
decision-making, basic work habits, proper social interactions
and responses to life situations through hands-on learning
opportunities. Kindergarten is a vital yet pleasant step
necessary to building a strong foundation for further learning.
Curriculum: The basis of the kindergarten program is to meet a
spectrum of student needs from pre-reading to reading and pre-
writing to writing. Basic math concepts, listening skills and
following directions are an integral part of kindergarten. The
curriculum is enhanced through social studies and science units,
foreign language, fine arts, library, computer
