Kindergarten

Through a well-developed cur­ricu­lum, which is based on the Stan­dards and Bench­marks of the Arch­dio­cese of Los Ange­les Catholic Schools, the kinder­garten­ers receive the instruc­tions nec­es­sary to meet and exceed first grade readi­ness. Our Kinder­garten pro­gram pro­vides a more  struc­tured set­ting. At this age, the child’s lis­ten­ing skills should be more devel­oped. Reli­gion class is more for­mal and the kinder­garten­ers learn sev­eral mem­o­rized prayers and engage in dis­cus­sions about the truths of the Catholic faith in sim­ple terms.

In addi­tion to the cur­ricu­lum areas listed above, our kinder­garten­ers focus more for­mal stud­ies in:

°         Phon­ics (let­ter sounds) °        Literature-listening comprehension
°         Basic Math and Geometry °        Sci­ence
°         Social Studies °        Music
°         Art°        Large Motor Skills
°         Small Motor Skills °       Cur­rent Events
