A full day kindergarten program

No longer a year to prepare for "real" school, kindergarten has become the first year of formal schooling. Through exposure to our academic program and strong emphasis on language, mathematics and science, your child will be fully prepared for first grade.

We have a wonderful literacy program that stresses phonics. We give each child a heavy exposure to reading and writing, letter recognition and sentence structure. However, keep in mind that learning to read requires that a child be ready - the light bulb for reading goes off in different children at different ages. If your child cooperates and works hard, he will leave Creative Beginnings with good literacy skills.

We hope to keep the children excited about learning and school and provide an atmosphere that fosters creativity and curiosity. This will be not be accomplished by rote practices and sitting at desks, but in teacher directed small groups and by self-paced learning.

Our kindergarten reading program follows the State of Maryland standards. Teachers will evaluate the children regularly on these benchmarks and the results will be reported to parents. Click here to learn more about our kindergarten reading program.
