Kindergarten Curriculum at St. Patrick’s Academy is an amalgam of Kindergarten, Waldorf and High scope methods of teaching where children learn actively by having hands-on experiences with their surroundings. Here learning is supported through consistent daily routines and well-organized classrooms. The goal of adopting these methodologies is to develop a child’s senses, character, practical life skills, and academic ability. We at Kindergarten strive to generate a strong inner enthusiasm for learning and develop children’s innate abilities and talents. With a child centered approach the 3 year kindergarten cycle (Nursery,LKG,UKG) includes Pre –writing strokes, capital letters A-Z, cursive letters big and small, vocabulary building, reading skill, pre-number concepts, shapes, numbers 1-500, environmental science, storytelling, rhymes, other skill building activities, color days and community days.
