Our Junior Kindergarten curriculum is designed to prepare each student to enter Kindergarten confident and ready both academically and socially. Our curriculum addresses the needs of all learners by using visual, auditory, and tactile techniques. Language, Math, Small and Large Motor Skills, Science, Self-Help Skills, and Judaica are all integrated in to the exploration of interesting themes. For those children who are ready to advance quickly, there are ongoing enrichment activities readily available.
