A Year of Discovery
Kindergarten is a wonderful time of discovery and learning. Here at St. Madeleine Sophie, our Kindergarten program is a full-day, academically-rich experience that runs five days a week. This format provides ample time for children to build oral and written language skills, explore math and science concepts, interact socially, and build upon faith foundations.
The program is carefully designed for young learners – engaging, stimulating, and appropriately challenging – so that every child can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
Learning Through Exploration
Kindergarten is a time to explore, wonder, and create – as these are foundational years for future education. Students paint, build, act in puppet shows, build patterns, and listen to stories that have underlying real-world messages and provoke basic thinking skills. They learn the conventions of print, the connection between oral and written language, and how to complete assignments and tasks with focus and responsibility. While playful and hands-on, our program is academically rigorous, covering the Essential Academic Learning Requirements of the state and offering enrichment that goes beyond the basics.
Growth, Faith, and Community
At St. Madeleine Sophie, Kindergarteners are nurtured in a faith-filled environment that honors the unique gifts of each child. Students are guided to practice Catholic values in and out of the classroom, learning empathy, respect, and kindness while engaging in prayer, service, and community activities. The supportive and loving atmosphere encourages children to develop confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning, preparing them not just for first grade but for the broader journey of growth and leadership ahead.
