The Kindergarten curriculum is jam packed and so are our days. We follow the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science while also focusing on the social and emotional learning of each child. Students are expected to communicate clearly, read and write about the curriculum, and be active participants.
