We offer a Junior Kindergarten program on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The Jr Kindergarten program is an excellent introduction to HLS and provides age-appropriate, quality content using real books, recitation, and repetition to help our youngest students become reading-ready and prepared for our thorough phonics-based Kindergarten. It is aimed at four- and five-year-old students who intend to enroll in Kindergarten the following fall. Using the Memoria Press Junior Kindergarten curriculum, our goal is to foster Kindergarten readiness and offer a gentle introduction to a classroom setting.
The program focuses on letter and number recognition, introductory phonics, counting, letter formation, fine motor, and gross motor skills, work habits such as listening and attention to detail, and age-appropriate teaching methods that include games, art, music, and indoor/outdoor play.
A typical daily schedule will include:
- Circle Time: Calendar, Letter of the Week, Weekly Recitation and Bible verses, Show & Tell, Songs, and Poetry
- Alphabet Lesson / Writing
- Snack Time
- Recess (outdoors or in gym)
- Number Lesson (math concepts)
- Literature
