Kindergarten

Program Overview

The Wesleyan Academe offers Kindergarten for students who are ready to begin their elementary education. Our Kindergarten is a fast-paced adventure into the world of education. Emphasizing a strong foundation in language, phonics, and quantitative skills, the Kindergarten experience is enriched through the study of classical children’s literature, Spanish, music, P.E., computer classes, class projects, and field trips.

Time of class: 8:30 am to 3:15 pm (Before/Aftercare available at an additional charge).

Learning Focus

The Kindergarten Program is a full-day program involving development of the young child through an intense systematic phonics program to read through repetition and review. New learning gradually builds on old learning and practice sessions reinforce both. In this way, your child will experience success every day. Schoolwork and assessments will be sent home for your child to review. Word lists and other materials practiced at home review objectives learned at school.

During the year, the Kindergarten student participates in a wide variety of mathematics activities. Your child will learn through hands-on experiences, discussion and exploration. Houghton Mifflin, Texas Math, is the basic curriculum used, which is based on the TEKS objectives for Kindergarten. The objectives encompass:

1. Number, Operation and Quantitative reasoning
2. Patterns, Relationships and Algebraic Thinking
3. Geometry
4. Measurement
5. Probability
6. Mathematical Tools

The teacher also uses additional resources to enhance the Houghton Mifflin program.
