Learning Experiences

Full-day kindergartners have more time with their teachers, more individual attention and small-group learning. Full-day programs give students more time to become proficient readers and writers. There's also more time for other subjects, such as science, math, art and physical education.

Student Growth

Full-day kindergartners are typically more independent learners. They participate more in the classroom and are more comfortable asking questions and seeking help from their teachers. Full-day kindergartners shine when it comes to relationship building, developing better-than-average social skills with their peers.

Individualized Attention

An extended kindergarten day gives teachers more time for small-group and individual learning. There's more time to assess and assist children at all developmental levels: under-performing students grow their skills more quickly and higher level students get the challenges they need.

Familiarity

Full-day kindergarten also means less change, fewer transitions from one setting to another during the school day. When combined with the before and after-care available at many of our school sites, children are able to settle into a comfortable environment from the time they're dropped off in the morning until you come to pick them up in the afternoon.
