Our Kindergarten Program for 2006/07
For children who will be 5 years old by September 30, 2006

Kindergarten means “a child’s garden” and at Prince of Peace Lutheran School we think of our kindergarten as a garden , , ,

where children are nurtured
     and learning is cultivated,
where all parts of a child
     can grow and develop,
where each child
     can flourish and blossom.

In our classroom we encourage, celebrate and foster:

O        Individual strengths and differences
O        Character, conscience, and faith development
O        Curiosity and interest as tools for learning
O        Gross and fine motor development
O        Problem-solving and critical thinking skills
O        Creative expression in the arts
O        Individual, partner, and small group learning
O        Cooperative, courteous and kind interactions 

Literacy and Language Development 

Research and practice demonstrate that life-long readers are those who have been continuously surrounded by opportunities for hearing, seeing and loving stories.  The desire and disposition to read is more than "cracking the code."  A passion and a competence for reading, for writing and for speaking are grown in places in which reading and writing and speaking are taught and learned in developmentally appropriate ways.  We engage a variety of strategies - - including phonics, whole language, print recognition, picture and content clues, and emergent literacy approaches - - to foster a love and a disposition for the language arts.

Specialty Offerings. 

In addition to our emphasis on literacy and language development, our kindergarten boasts Music and Movement, Art, and Physical Education programs.  Each of these are taught by early childhood specialists who not only have notable expertise and experience, but take a delight in offering rich opportunities for children to explore and develop a disposition to learn and love learning in these areas.
