Kindergarten
is a happy and
caring place where
a child learns
and develops intellectually,
physically, socially,
emotionally and
spiritually. It
is an adventure
for your child.
It is the beginning
of an exciting
new phase of life...the
formal school
years. The various
programs and activities
in kindergarten
are designed to
help your child
grow in readiness,
not only for the
next school year
but also for what
lies ahead in
later life. Therefore
the kindergarten
year may be viewed
as the stepping
stones to all
future learning.
Saint Augustine
School welcomes
your child to
this exciting
new adventure.
We
believe
... each child
is a unique individual
with physical,
social, emotional,
spiritual and
intellectual needs.
Recognizing that
our children enter
school with many
different backgrounds,
we provide individually
stimulating and
rewarding experiences.
We
believe
...a child learns
best in a warm,
secure environment
that provides
opportunities
for :
 |
Interaction
with materials
which
encourage
exploration,
creativity
, questioning
and independent
discovery.
This includes
a variety
of active,
concrete,
hands
on learning
experiences
matched
to individual
abilities
and learning
styles. |
|
Interaction
with ideas
through
open ended
questions,
problem
solving
and discussions.
This interaction
emphasizes
the process
the child
goes through
to accomplish
a task. |
|
Interaction
with each
other
and with
adults.
This interaction
promotes
cooperation,
self responsibility
and respect
for self
and others. |
We
believe
...
that this learning
best occurs in
a comprehensive
program which
includes an integrated
curriculum and
strong parent/community
involvement.
The
goal of Saint
Augustine's
Kindergarten
program is to
develop competent,
sensitive, enthusiastic
learners who
have the ability
to adapt to
a changing world.
