Kindergarten is a new beginning for both the parent and the child. It is a time when a child’s motivation is at its highest and when environmental factors that can impede later education progress have not yet taken their toll. The combination of enthusiasm and ability that is characteristic of the Kindergarten child is rarely equaled in subsequent years. A child who experiences a productive and enjoyable Kindergarten year is well on the way to a successful learning experience.
Building good work habits and strong socialization skills are the foundation of our program. In St. Amelia Kindergarten, we try hard to help your children develop an enjoyment for school and learning. We work hard on introducing and encouraging good manners and good work habits.
