Kindergarten

A place where children love to learn

Kindergarten is an important year. What kids learn in kindergarten helps to build the foundation for lifelong learning. We teach kids how to read and write, how to get along with others, and how to solve problems. But more importantly, we teach kids how to love learning!

Your child will make new friends and have lots of time to play and explore the world around them. We welcome each child at their current level of ability and provide developmentally-appropriate learning activities.

Join us for Kindergarten Orientation

Bring your child to school for a sneak peek of kindergarten! During this fun event kids will spend time in a kindergarten classroom and meet our amazing teachers.

To accommodate all families, we are offering two identical orientation sessions:

Thursday, April 3 | 5-6 p.m. (Families A–L)
Friday, April 4 | 9:30-10:30 a.m. (Families M–Z)

If your assigned session does not work for your family, you are welcome to attend the other session.

RSVP by completing this brief form or by calling the school office at 651-351-6800.  

"I love teaching kindergarten because of our students' whole-hearted excitement for learning and sweetly genuine interactions with each other!"

– Sara Tate, Kindergarten teacher
