Kindergarten
At Second Pres Kindergarten, we offer both morning and all-day sessions, thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of each precious child and their family. Our mission goes far beyond academics — we joyfully partner with families to nurture not only a lifelong love of learning but also strong character, kindness, and a deep sense of moral awareness. Our classrooms are filled with wonder, warmth, and discovery. We create a loving, child-centered environment where each little learner feels safe, seen, and celebrated. With a gentle balance of play and purposeful learning, we craft a curriculum that’s developmentally appropriate and thoughtfully tailored to the needs of young hearts and minds.
We believe that every child comes into the world with a spark of curiosity — a natural desire to explore, question, and understand. Through hands-on experiences, meaningful play, and joyful exploration, we encourage children to follow their curiosity wherever it leads. At the heart of our approach is the understanding that each child is unique. We take the time to get to know every student — their interests, their strengths, and how they learn best — so we can provide learning experiences that honor and engage every style of learning. At Second Pres, children grow not just academically, but emotionally, socially, and spiritually — wrapped in love, guided with care, and supported every step of the way.
Our thoughtfully designed, individualized curriculum is rooted in evidence-based practices and exceeds Common Core standards. We take a multi-sensory approach to reading and writing, ensuring that every child can learn in the way that suits them best.
