We offer a full day kindergarten program following the California State educational standards.  The curriculum includes Language Arts (Reading and Writing), Math, Science and Social Studies to prepare students to enter first grade in public school.  Before and after-school care, and snacks will be provided, as well as dance and music classes.  

The class size is limited to nine children (public school kindergarten typically has 18-25 students per class), so the students receive more personal instruction.
