The Kindergarten class at Egremont is designed to meet the needs of students who have advanced through our Early Kindergarten curriculum or similar program and are ready to face the kindergarten challenge! Transitional Kindergarteners that do not meet the September 30th, 5-year birthday deadline will join in as well, as a split class. Both groups will follow the same basic curriculum, but include more foundational and hands-on practice and activities for students to incorporate learning at their own developmental level.
Small class size helps enable more one-on-one assistance and additional time for developing stronger foundational skills for future learning. The curriculum can also be geared to meet each student's individual needs according to their level of readiness.
As with all classes at Egremont School, the mission is to provide not only an environment of educational learning, but address the social, emotional and physical needs of each student. These areas are a vital part of the curriculum as well, so as to build up confident, well-adjusted students for their future education and the world around them.
