What to Love about Kindergarten at DPSCD
Kindergarten is a wonderful time in a child’s life. It is meant to be a time filled with fun, exploration and limitless possibilities. In the DPSCD Kindergarten classroom, we use this opportunity to build upon a child’s natural curiosity to guide their learning experiences.
We use purposeful materials, language and lessons to address each child as an individual and scaffold their academic, social and emotional learning. Kindergarten Educators are focused on the whole child to prepare them not just for kindergarten success but also to be lifelong learners.
